To set the highlight automatically to specific dot percents
The highlight or “white” areas of an image are normally set up to contain a slight screen dot
(about 3-5%, depending on the printing process). You can set up ColorQuartet to assign the
desired dot percents to the lightest parts of the image. The setting can be applied automatically,
semi-automatically or manually.
For more information about highlight setting options – see page 159.
For general information about working with the color tools – see page 242.
1 • Open the Highlight/Shadow window.
2 • Click on Auto Setup... to open the Auto Setup window.
3 • Activate the CMY Average Highlight check box.
4 • Type in the desired dot percents for C (cyan), M (magenta) and Y (yellow).
5 • Click on OK to return to the Highlight/Shadow window.
6 • Click on Auto to apply the new settings to the image.
NOTE: The automatic dot percents for highlight can be turned on or off by activating or deacti-
vating the CMY Average Highlight check box. If the function is deactivated, the lightest point in
the image is set to C=0, M=0, Y=0.
• The default settings are C=5, M=3, Y=3.
• ColorQuartet will remember the settings you made until you change them,
and will apply them to your scans when you apply the Highlight/Shadow tool
