Apple Color 1.5 - Manual (Page 204)

This analysis can be valuable in situations where a specific feature within the image needs
to be a specific value. For example, you can drag swatches across the frame if you’re
trying to adjust a black, white, or colored background to be a uniform value, or if you
have a product that’s required to be a highly specific color in every shot in which it
appears.
Note: These controls are visible only when the 3D scope is occupying an area of the
Scopes window.
To sample and analyze a color
1 Click one of the three color swatch buttons at the bottom of the 3D scope.
2 Click or drag within the image preview area to move the color target to the area you
want to analyze.
As you drag the color target over the image preview, four things happen:
• The color swatch updates with that color.
• The H, S, and L values of the currently analyzed pixel are displayed to the right of the
currently selected swatch.
