Adjusting the Shadow Setting

Shadows, the darkest areas of an image, are the opposite of highlights.

In the Image Controls dialog box, click the eyedropper button under Shadow.

The pointer changes to an eyedropper, with movement restricted to within the Preview window.

Move the eyedropper to the location you want to select as the shadow point and click it.

The brightness of the pixel at the point you click is set as the shadow level, and the other parts of the image are adjusted accordingly.

To change the shadow level (darkness) of the point you selected, move the Shadow slider left or right, or enter a value in the text box. You can enter a value between 0 and 60 for the shadow.

Note:

See Image Controls for further information on adjusting the shadow level.
