Nikon Capture NX2 user manual Toolbar Color Control Point

Each color control point that is placed on an object in your image identifies the characteristics of the color as well as the level of detail of that object, enabling you to make adjustments to the color of that object. With the use of the size slider, you are able to increase the reach or scale of the current color control point so that it affects similar colors of the objects which are farther away from the color control point. Each new color control point works together with other color control points in the same step to affect more and more specific objects. Using additional color control points ensures that the adjustments that you make are being applied to the current object only. Placing a color control point on an object with default settings prevents other color control points from affecting that object.
