Color management

●The lightness slider simply makes the whole print lighter or darker. This slider is available under Windows in the same window as the other grayscale controls; it is available under Mac OS by selecting Lightness and Hue.

●The zone definition sliders can be used to define what you mean by highlight, midtone and shadow.

●The other controls for highlight, midtone and shadow can be used to adjust the gray balance of highlights, midtones and shadows respectively.

The Reset All button restores each control to its default setting.
