Show All Control Points

Show Overlay

The

Show Overlay option displays the selection as a semi-transparent color overlay, superimposed on top

of your image. Anywhere this color overlay is displayed, the current step’s adjustment is being applied.
Anywhere the image is displayed, no enhancement is being applied. You can control the color and opacity
of the overlay within the “Preferences” dialog.

Show Mask

The

Show Mask option displays the current selection as a black and white mask; black areas indicate that

no enhancement is being applied to that area while white areas are being affected by the current step’s
enhancements.

Show All Control Points

The

Show All Control Points option is selected by default whenever you are working on a step that

contains any of the control points, either black, white, neutral, color, red-eye, or selection control points. By
selecting this option, all control points will be hidden so that you can see the image without any of the
control point icons appearing on top of the image.

Show Active Selection

The

Show Active Selection option is selected by default whenever a selection is created with the lasso or

marquee tools. By selecting this option, the active selection can be hidden.

A

Please note

selecting

Deselect All from the Edit menu or double-click within the image with one of the lasso or marquee

tools selected.

Show Watch Points

The

Show Watch Points option is enabled by default. When this option is enabled, any watch points

added through the

Photo Info palette are displayed. By disabling this option, watch points can be hidden.
