Control Points Menu Chapter 23 170 Changing this value when only one Neutral Control Point is applied will affect the mid-tones throughout the image. When more than one Neutral Control Point is applied to the same image within the same step, any changes that are made to the Luminosity slider will affect the targeted color as well as the range of colors which are similar to the targeted color. Color Picker The Color Picker color swatch indicates the current color that is being used as the basis for the Neutral Control Point's effect. The Color Picker color swatch also enables you to access any color through the Color Picker. One of the best ways to use the Neutral Control Point is to place the Control Point on an object that is represented by a memory color, and select the corresponding memory color range from the Color Picker. Capture NX provides four of the most common memory colors that represent colors that you see on a regular basis, such as the color of the sky, the color of a person's skin, or the color of foliage. You might, for example, place a Neutral Control Point on the sky, click on the Color Picker color swatch, open the swatches portion of the Color Picker, and then select a color from the Sky memory color range. This will remove any color cast from the image by removing the difference between the targeted color of the sky and the defined sky memory color from the entire image. Show Selection The Show selection checkbox enables you to see where the current Color Control Point is affecting the image. Areas inked in white are being affected by the Color Control Point, while areas inked in black are not being affected by the Color Control Point. You can quickly access the Show selection option by right-clicking (Windows) or controlclicking (Mac OS) the Color Control Point and selecting Show selection. Hide The Hide option completely removes the effect of the Neutral Control Point temporarily. This is helpful in comparing the before and after effect of the Neutral Control Point on your image. You can quickly access the Hide option by right-clicking (Windows) or controlclicking (Mac OS) on the Neutral Control Point and selecting Hide. Each step may contain up to one Black and one White Control Point, while allowing for an unlimited number of Neutral Control Points.

Control Points Menu
Changing this value when only one
Neutral Control Point is applied will
affect the mid-tones throughout the
image. When more than one Neutral
Control Point is applied to the same
image within the same step, any
changes that are made to the Luminosity
slider will affect the targeted color as
well as the range of colors which are
similar to the targeted color.
Color Picker
The Color Picker color swatch indicates
the current color that is being used as
the basis for the Neutral Control Point’s
effect. The Color Picker color swatch
also enables you to access any color
through the Color Picker. One of the
best ways to use the Neutral Control
Point is to place the Control Point
on an object that is represented by a
memory color, and select the corre-
sponding memory color range from the
Color Picker. Capture NX provides four
of the most common memory colors
that represent colors that you see on
a regular basis, such as the color of
the sky, the color of a person’s skin,
or the color of foliage. You might,
for example, place a Neutral Control
Point on the sky, click on the Color
Picker color swatch, open the swatches
portion of the Color Picker, and then
select a color from the Sky memory
color range. This will remove any color
cast from the image by removing the
difference between the targeted color
of the sky and the defined sky memory
color from the entire image.
Show Selection
The Show selection checkbox enables
you to see where the current Color
Control Point is affecting the image.
Areas inked in white are being affected
by the Color Control Point, while areas
inked in black are not being affected by
the Color Control Point. You can quickly
access the Show selection option by
right-clicking (Windows) or control-
clicking (Mac OS) the Color Control
Point and selecting Show selection.
Hide
The Hide option completely removes
the effect of the Neutral Control Point
temporarily. This is helpful in compar-
ing the before and after effect of the
Neutral Control Point on your image.
You can quickly access the Hide option
by right-clicking (Windows) or control-
clicking (Mac OS) on the Neutral
Control Point and selecting Hide.
Each step may contain up to one Black
and one White Control Point, while
allowing for an unlimited number of
Neutral Control Points.
