Checking for clipped areas

Back to TOC

The lightest or darkest areas of an image that will print without any detail in them are known as clipped areas. The lightest areas, or highlights, will print as the color of the paper (without ink or toner) and therefore will have no detail. The darkest areas, or shadows, will print saturated in the blackest color of ink or toner, and therefore will also have no detail.

You can view and change clipped areas if you want those areas to contain detail when they print.
