select the magnification

levels.

(Duplicate, New, Delete,

1. The White/Black Points tool lets you

change the shadow and highlight points

of an image. By using this tool, you can

manipulate shades so that the Shadow

point becomes the new darkest values

and the Highlight point becomes the new

lightest value.

2. The Tone Curve tool lets you control the

gamma, which measures the intensity

affecting the mid-level grays (midtones)

of an image. Adjusting the gamma lets

you change the values of the middle

range of gray tones without dramatically

altering the shadows and highlights.

3 . The Brightness/Contrast tool changes the

brightness and contrast of the entire

image. Brightness is the balance of the

light and dark shades in the image, while

contrast is the range between the

darkest and lightest shades in the image.

4. The Color Correction tool adjusts the hue or

saturation of colors. This tool applies only to

color images and is not available for use with

grayscale or black-and-white images.
Saturation refers to the intensity of a color.
Hue is the aspect of color that distinguishes

one color from another (whether it is red,

green, or blue).

5. The Filter tool lets you apply or create special

effects to your image. This tool is disabled

when your image type is set to billions of

colors, 1,000 shades of gray, line art and

halftone.

6. The Descreen tool lets you remove moiré

patterns in images. The moiré is an

undesirable pattern in printing that results

from incorrect screen angles of overprinting

halftones. Moirés usually result when you

scan images taken directly from a magazine

(instead of scanning in a continuous glossy

photographic original or a transparency).
