Adjust Gradation Settings
The Gradation tool enables you to perform tone corrections when printing a job.
This tool is useful, for instance, for correcting an undesirable magenta cast all over
the image. Using the gradation tool, you can change brightness, contrast, and color
balance throughout the tone range of an entire image or in specific tone ranges.
Gradation tables that you create using the
Gradation tool are added to the
Gradations list on the Color tab and can be applied to print jobs.
The Gradation tool enables you to create and edit gradation tables, as well as visually
check the effect of your gradation tables on a specific processed job.
