Inspecting the gray balance with the “CMYK Gray Balance” window

The CMYK Gray Balance window can be opened from the Color menu. It displays the gray bal-

ance of the image, taking into account the CMYK profile chosen. This window is for information

only. It cannot be used for changing the image.

• The curves plot the original’s L*

or density values (bottom scale) against the reproduction’s

dot percents (left-hand scale). Choose L* or Density from the Units menu in the window to

switch between the two display modes.

• Note that any changes you make with ColorQuartet’s color tools may influence the gray

balance of the image. The Show Effect of Color Tools check box lets you switch between view-

ing the gray balance with or without the influence of the applied color tools.
