ting. Therefore, in case the shape is no trapezoid but a rectangle, no
softness is selected for the respective value.
You can change the areas bordered by the selection shapes (yellow
lines) in several ways:
Figure 7-41: Altering the selection shapes
You can select a shape completely and drag it to the position within the
bar that you want to cover (1).
You can select the top and bottom sides of the shapes and move
them (2), thereby reducing or enlarging the area covered by the selec-
tion shapes. Finally, you can select one of the four corner points and po-
sition them to your liking (3).
As already mentioned, the settings of the selection shapes’ corner
points can be seen in the entry fields to the right. The top entry fields
display the settings of the six corner points for the color vector, i.e. they
show the settings of the left two corner points of each shape. The bot-
tom six entry fields show the settings of the right corner points and in-
dicate the softness of the vector. You can also adjust the color
vector/softness in the entry fields directly by simply entering a value
The settings of the left two bars are displayed in the color
wheel to the left. The luminance setting is not shown in the col-
or wheel.
Because the hue bar represents a color wheel, in this case not
the area of the selection shape is moved but the colored back-
ground.
The softness settings of each shape may lie outside the vector
area settings but not within, i.e. the left or right corner points
can only be dragged to be level with its opposing point on the
other side of the shape but not further.
