one color retained.Color panel [Menu 1], labeled All, selects all six points and
configures the Hue Curves to work the same as the HLS tool. This might
seem redundant but the default processing path puts Hue Curves first in a
layer and HLS as last. Hue Curves All is useful for creating duotone and split
tone effects in one layer, whilst HLS modifies the layer correction as well as
the natural color.
Soft Clip
The Soft Clip effect allows full control over black and white point clipping, and
threshold values. Each RGB channel can be independently controlled.
Parameters
The Soft Clip effect has separate white and black modes, chosen via the
toggle buttons to the left.
The white mode includes Threshold White settings.
The black mode includes Threshold Black settings.
Clip
This setting controls the level of clipping done per RGB channel.
Softness
This setting controls the fall-off (softness) in the clipping performed.
Threshold White / Threshold Black
These settings control the cut-off values for white/black clipping.
Discussion
On the control panel, the black and white trackballs adjust soft clips when the
Color panel is set to Clip. The outer rings adjust a neutral clip and the balls
clip the RGB channels separately to cause colour in the peak whites or
blacks.
