Using the White & Black Points tool

Use the

White & Black White & Black

White & Black Points tool to

set the shadow and highlight points of an

image, as well as to neutralize the color

cast in shadow/highlight regions.

In the example below, the original has a

slight color cast in the shadow and

highlight portions of the image. With the

use of the auto neutralizing and auto

adjustment features, the color cast is

removed, and the shadows and

highlights are remapped accordingly.

NOTE:

The shadow point is defined as the lightness

value “L” in an image that is output as black (mapped

to the Minimum Output Level), while the highlight

point is defined as the lightness value “L” that is output

as white (mapped to the Maximum Output Level).

The default values of the Minimum Output Level and

Maximum Output Level are L=5.0 and L=95.0,

respectively.
