Neutral Control Point - Nikon 25338 User Manual

RGB Mode
The RGB Mode of the White Control
Point enables you to set the individual
red, green, and blue values of the target
white. This is helpful if your printer
requires a non-neutral white. Within
this mode, you are presented with three
sliders on the White Control Point and
three entry boxes in the White Point
dialog, representing the red, green, and
blue values of the white point.
Hide
The Hide option completely removes
the effect of the White Control Point
temporarily. This is helpful in comparing
the before and after effect of the White
Control Point on your image. You can
quickly access the Hide option by
right-clicking (Windows) or
control-clicking (Mac OS) on the White
Control Point and selecting Hide.
Each step may contain up to one Black
and one White Control Point, while
allowing for an unlimited number of
Neutral Control Points.
