There may be times that you wish to �blow out� or �plug� a portion of the image for effect. An example of this would be a photograph of a piece of jewelry that contains bright reflections. These reflections are referred to as �spectral highlights� and are usually brighter than any other portion of the image.

� Click the Hilite Eye Dropper and then click on a part of the image that is supposed to be pure white to extend the contrast of the image to the desired level. � Click the Shadow Eye Dropper to set the darkest point of the image in the same manner as above. � Click the Mid-Tone Eye Dropper on an area of the image that is as close to neutral gray as possible. If you make a mistake with these tools, simply repeat the process until you are satisfied with the results. � Click the Reset button to undo your changes. � To manually set the balance points, click in the color boxes beneath the eye dropper.
