To set the shadow as dark as possible

The shadow point can be set automatically or manually. The automatic method is mainly

intended for reflective (opaque) originals.

For general information about working with the color tools – see page 242.

To set the shadow point automatically

1 • Open the Highlight/Shadow window.

2 • Click on Auto Setup... to open the Auto Setup window.

3 • Activate the Auto Shadow check box.

4 • Click on OK to return to the Highlight/Shadow window.

5 • Click on Auto to apply the new settings to the image.

ColorQuartet will now set the shadow point of each scan automatically when you apply the

Highlight/Shadow tool.

To set the shadow point manually

1 • Open the Highlight/Shadow window.

2 • EITHER: Click on the black color field in the Densitometer window to make ColorQuartet

find the absolute shadow point in the image.

OR: Click directly on the point in the feedback window that you want to use as the shadow

point.

3 • Type the C, M, and Y values you require for the shadow point into the Edit fields of the Den-

sitometer.

4 • Confirm the values by clicking on the check mark above the Edit fields.

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

NOTE: If the values you requested exceed the limits of the activated

CMYK Proﬁle, ColorQuartet will round them off to the nearest accept-

able values.
