Auto Setup functions • Overview
The Auto Setup... button in the Highlight/Shadow window opens the Auto Setup window. Here you
can pre-set default values for highlight and determine whether you want highlight to be adjusted
automatically or not. You can also request automatic adjustment of color cast
.
• The Auto menu lets you choose among several ways of setting the highlight:
• Most users choose the mode they prefer and use it as a default. Once you have set up the
desired mode, ColorQuartet will remember it and use it each time you make a crop.
• When pre-set dot percent values for highlight are used, ColorQuartet analyzes the 3% lightest
pixels in the crop and adjusts their average values to the requested C, M and Y dot percents.
• IMPORTANT: The pre-set highlight values are only applied to the image if the CMY Average
Highlight check box is activated. Otherwise, the lightest point in the image is set to C = 0, M = 0,
Y = 0.
