Adjusting the shadow point

The shadow point of an image is not quite as critical as the highlight point, but, it, too, can be

adjusted automatically or manually.

Automatic shadow point adjustment

This method is primarily intended for reflection originals. ColorQuartet will automatically set the

shadow point of each image to the darkest possible value, depending on the CMYK pr

oﬁle that is

being used, if you activate Auto Shadow in the Auto Setup window (accessed from the High-

light/Shadow window).

Manual shadow point adjustment

1 • Open the Highlight/Shadow window.

2 • EITHER: Click on the black color field in the

Densitometer window to find the absolute

shadow point in the image.

OR: Click directly on the point in the feedback windo

w that you want to use as the shadow

point.

3 • Type the C, M, Y and K values you require for the shadow point of the image into the Edit

fields of the densitometer.

4 • Click on OK in the Highlight/Shadow window or open another color tool.
