Displaying an Area Beyond the Set Range as a Warning Indicator (Highlight/Shadow Warning)

You can set up a warning indicator in both the highlighted part and the shaded part, which is effective for checking the light and dark areas and preventing excessive adjustment of an image. Where the area on the image has exceeded that set range, you can display the highlighted part in red and the shaded part in blue.

  1. Select the [Tools] menu → [Preferences].

  2. Select the [View settings] tab sheet.

  3. Enter the warning value for [Highlight] and [Shadow].

  4. Click the [OK] button to close the window.

  5. Display the edit window.

  6. Select the [View] menu → [Highlight]. Similarly, select [Shadow].

    • On the opened image, if there is an area that exceeds the value entered in step 3, the highlighted part of that area is displayed in red and the shaded part is displayed in blue.

You can also display the warning with the same operation in the edit image window.
