Adjusting a Histogram (Expert Mode)

In expert mode, the highlights and shadows of 24-Bit Color, 36-Bit Color, 8-Bit Grayscale and 12-Bit Grayscale images can be adjusted with histograms. This method is used when you wish to change the portions of an image with extreme highlights and shadows and to emphasize the halftone gradient. You can save and reload the corrected values, which is useful when you wish to rescan the same image without going through the color correction procedures.
