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 rightclicking (Windows) or control-clicking (Macintosh) on the color control point and selecting Show Selection. To see the selection of multiple color control points, select more than one color control point by holding the Ctrl key (Windows) or command key (Macintosh), clicking on more than one color control point with the direct select tool, and then selecting Show Selection. This will display the combined selection of the selected control points. To hide the selection for multiple color control points, select the same color control points again and select Show Selection again. Alternatively, you can disable the Show Selection option for each color control point individually. Protect Details The Protect Details checkbox limits the controls of a Color Control Point so that it only has a Size slider and prevents any Color Control Point from affecting the object identified by the Color Control Point with Protect Details turned on. A Color Control Point with Protect Details turned on acts in the same way as a Color Control Point with all sliders set to the default values. Use this feature to ensure that a Color Control Point is protecting the values of the targeted object. Color Picker The Color Picker swatch enables you to select a color from the Color Picker and change the currently selected object to that color. Method The Method pull-down menu determines how all of the color control points in the current step are applied to the image. Each method utilizes different algorithms optimized for different types of images. Each step utilizing color control points contains one Method pull-down menu where you can choose from one of the available methods. To utilize more than method on an image you must create a new step color control point step for each different method. The different methods are: Basic The Basic method is the fastest and most direct method to apply the color control points from the current step to your image. This method is recommended for web graphics and illustrations. Normal The Normal method provides the best balance of speed and detail protection. This method is recommended for the majority of images. 106 Chapter 13 - The Toolbar | Color Control Point
