IndexEditing a Special Tone Curve Directly
In the Special Tone Curves graph you can edit the curve directly.
Click on the curve and drag each curve anchor point until the desired effect
is achieved. To remove an anchor point, drag the anchor point off the
graph area, or right click the anchor point.
Here are some hints for editing curves:
•C
urve handles are drawn on a white background as a red dot to signify
that they are editable. When the cursor is over the handle, it changes to a
crosshair.
•C urve end points can be selected and dragged to any point in the curve
but cannot be deleted.
•U p to 15 points can be added to a curve by clicking anywhere in the curve
box.
• If you drag a point outside of a curve box, it will be deleted from the curve
and a new curve will form with the remaining points.
• The x and y axes on the curve chart represent the input image color and
output image color. When you add a handle to the curve and drag that
handle toward the white areas, the preview image tones are adjusted to
reflect the change.
•M ore than one handle cannot be positioned on a vertical line but more
than one handle can be positioned on a horizontal line so you can have
several handles on a horizontal line.

lected for the Color Mode on the Advanced Mode Main window. You can
set only Threshold in this sheet.

Threshold determines whether portions of an original are scanned as black
or white. Drag the slider left to make the image lighter or drag it righ\
t to
make the image darker. Or you can also enter a value ( 0 - 255) directly into
the entry box to the right of the slider.
Setting the threshold value higher causes the black portions of the image to
increase. Setting it lower, causes the white portions to increase.
