Select the Black Tint
eyedropper to activate
the Loupe.
The pointer changes to the Loupe, showing a magnified view of the target area. By default, the
Loupe is set to magnify the image to 100 percent (full size). If necessary, you can increase the
magnification of the Loupe by pressing Shift–Command–Plus Sign (+). For more information,
see
on page 181.

Position the target area of the Loupe over the darkest pixels in the image, and click.
The tint (hue and saturation) of the black values in the image is set to remove the color cast in
the shadows.
Important:
Make sure that there are no bright pixels in the target area of the Loupe. Bright
pixels in the target area can skew the Black Tint calculation, making the image look different
than intended. A simple way to avoid errant bright pixels is to increase the magnification of the
Loupe by choosing an increased magnification level from the Loupe pop-up menu. For more
information, see
on page 181.
