One can specify up to 100 color adjustment points, and the adjusted colors will be
displayed on the adjustment color list. The adjustment color list displays and their
functions are as follows:
• Colors before and after adjustment
• Apply/Do not apply checkbox
• Range of effect overlap indicator
The range of effect overlap indicator is displayed if the range of effect of an adjusted
color overlaps the range of effect of another adjusted color. Colors in overlapping ranges
are displayed in gray on the color wheel and adjusted using an aggregated value for the
respective adjustments. To avoid overlapping
ranges, one must reset the ranges of effect
so that they no longer overlap. Also, one
can delete an adjusted color by selecting
the color in the adjustment color list and
pressing the <Del> key on the keyboard.
There are 3 color display modes from which to choose: HSL, Lab or RGB. Color values
are displayed in the appropriate panel.

One can adjust the gamma characteristics of an image
using the tone curve. By creating up to 10 adjustment
points anywhere along the tone curve, one can freely
adjust brightness and contrast. The results of the
adjustments are applied to the sample image in the
main window in real time.
