Changing highlights

The highlight is the value in the image that is represented on the screen as white. All values lighter than the highlight also appear as white.

The image has a default highlight setting. Selecting a higher number makes more of the lighter values distinct, which increases detail in light areas. Selecting a lower number makes fewer of the lighter values distinct, which reduces detail in the light areas.

To adjust highlights for slides, negatives, or other transparent items, use "Adjusting highlights for slides or negatives" on page 82.
