Using Optiview in a Histogram

Available in the Histogram tab in the Control Panel, Optiview helps you make adjustments without losing image detail.

To use Optiview, follow these steps:

Click on an image in the Image Viewing Workspace or Darkroom mode.
In the lower right-hand corner of the Image Viewing Workspace or Darkroom, click .
In the Control Panel, click to display the Histogram tab.
Below the Histogram graph, click Optiview.
Adjust the brightness and contrast of the image.

While Optiview is active:

Black pixels appear as blue, and white pixels appear as green.
Grayscale pixels change to blue or green as they become completely black or white. If this happens, diagnostic detail is lost, and you will need to readjust levels accordingly.

When you stop adjusting brightness and contrast, Optiview is deactivated automatically.
