Page 22: Tonal Range/Gradation Curves/Film Curve
Tools In general, if the exposure warning is shown over a large area of the selected image, it indicates that the exposure level may need to be adjusted. Highlight areas are more critical than the shadows. Preserve highlight detail by not allowing values greater than 240.

0 to 255. A completely black pixel is represented as 0, a completely white pixel as 255. Again, it is important not to overexpose an image when using the Phase One H 5; if you see any of the Red, Green or Blue (RGB) values approaching overexposure (a value of 255) you need to adjust the exposure level. - Page 46 Editing and Selecting Images To control the brightness and contrast of the image two standard tools are available: Levels and Curves. Levels The first part of the Exposure Tab is the Levels control. This is a standard levels box similar to that of Adobe Photoshop.
