Selection Control Point

Selection Control Point

Selection control points utilize U Point technology to selectively apply the effect of an enhancement. You
can use a selection control point to selectively apply any enhancement found in either the

Adjust or Filter

menus.

To use a selection control point, follow these steps:

1

Add an enhancement to the image from the Adjust or Filter menus. Use the enhancement’s

controls to achieve the desired result.

2

Click on the selection control point icon in the

toolbar.

a. If you click the (+) icon for the selection control

point, the Base Mask slider in the Selection

section of the Edit List palette will

automatically move to 0% after adding the first

selection control point, hiding the effect of the

current enhancement. Click on the image to

add a selection control point with the opacity

slider automatically set to 100%. This will result

in the current enhancement’s effect only

applied to the area selected by the control

point.

b. If you click the (–) icon for the selection control

point, click on the image to add a selection

control point with the opacity slider

automatically set to 0% to the image. The

enhancement will be applied to the entire

image, except for the area selected by the

control point.

3

Adjust the size and opacity sliders to achieve the desired result. The higher the size value, the more

objects similar to the object selected by the control point will be selected as well. The higher the

opacity slider, the more the current enhancement will be applied to the objects selected by the

control point.

4

Add additional selection control points, or use the selection brush tool to further modify where the

current enhancement is being applied to the image.
