Show Lost Shadows
The
Show Lost Shadows option identifies areas in which
detail may have been lost in the shadow areas by locating
pixels with the minimum value of one or more channels.
This information can be used when adjusting the tonality of
the image, such as when applying black points, to ensure
that the optimal amount of detail is retained within the
image.
By enabling the
Show Lost Shadows option, the entire
image will become white while displaying any areas that
contain minimum values for one or more channels. Only
those areas in which the channels contain a minimum value
will be displayed within the image window when this option is enabled. That is, only the pixels that contain
a value of 0 will be displayed for each of the three channels.
The resulting image will contain black, primary, and secondary colors only. The following table describes
