The Viewer Toolbar
The Color page also exposes a toolbar at the top of the image (underneath the title bar) that
makes it easy to enable and disable image wipe, split screen, and highlight viewing by clicking
one of these three buttons, which then expose additional controls relating to each of these
modes of operation (described elsewhere in this chapter). This toolbar can be shown or hidden
by clicking the Viewer option menu and unchecking Show Viewer Options.

In the process, these buttons provide an easy reference for when a comparison mode is
enabled. In each of these Viewer modes, the appropriate controls for customizing that view
appear to the right of the Viewer toolbar.
The Onscreen Control (OSC) Menu
The Onscreen Control drop-down menu lets you choose which onscreen controls you want to
display and adjust in the Viewer. Some palettes automatically enable corresponding onscreen
controls when you open them. For example, opening the Window palette displays the Power
Window onscreen controls, and opening the Qualifier palette displays the Qualifier
onscreen controls.

the fourth trackball of the DaVinci control panel. For more about using Color Sample
controls, see Chapter 119, “Secondary Qualifiers.
