To set the dark level, drag the left slider toward the middle. Dragging the slider to Â
the right narrows the range of color and can bring more clarity to the shadows. The
position of the slider determines how much information is in the darkest part of the
image; any information to the left of the slider is omitted from the image. You may
want to drag the slider just to the point that the histogram line shows a noticeable
bump, signifying that detail is available.
To set the light level, drag the right slider toward the middle. Dragging the slider to Â
the left narrows the range of color and can bring more clarity to the highlights. The
position of the slider determines how much information is in the lightest part of the
image; any information to the right of the slider is omitted from the image. You may
want to drag the slider just to the point that the histogram line shows a noticeable
bump, signifying that detail is available.
Enhance: Automatically adjusts the image by spreading the red, green, and blue tones
evenly across the histogram.
