tables, and then apply these tables to your printed output. Before you send your job to print, preview your processed job in the Gradation Tool window, and check the effect of your gradation tables on your job. Changes in gradation can include brightness, contrast, and color balance adjustments throughout the tone range of an entire image or in specific tone ranges.

The default gradation table, DefaultGradTable, serves as a baseline and consists of a 45° gradation curve, with brightness and contrast set to 0 and contrast center set to 50. All of the color separations are selected. The Gradation Table list also includes these predefined gradation tables:

●Cool: Displays blue tones more clearly

●Lively: Increases the color saturation

●Saturated: Increases the strength (chroma or purity)

●Sharp: Increases the contrast

●Warm: Sets the hues in the low densities to a bright reddish color
