To add a white control point to your image, follow these steps: 1 Click on the white control point icon in the toolbar. The cursor will change to a crosshair. 2 Identify the object you would like to be the lightest object in the image and click on that object to place a white control point. A B / W / N Control Point step will be added to the Edit List palette, with a white control point sub-step. You can reposition the white control point by clicking and dragging it. Please note, you may only add one white control point to each B / W / N Control Point step. 3 Adjust the effect of the white control point either by clicking and dragging the luminosity slider or by entering a value directly into the text box in the white control point sub-step of the B / W / N Control Point step in the Edit List palette. After a white control point is added to the image, the following options will be available in the B / W / N Control Point step of the Edit List palette: White Control Point Method Use the white control point method pull-down menu to switch between controlling only the luminosity of the white control point or the individual red, green, and blue values. Luminosity Method The Luminosity method of the white control point always changes the color that you have targeted by setting the white control point to a neutral white. This is often the most efficient mode to use, as most calibrated printers work best when the image contains a neutral white. In this mode, you are presented with only a luminosity slider on the white control point and only a Luminosity setting within the white control point substep of the Edit List palette. 102 Chapter 13 - The Toolbar | White Control Point
