736 Chapter 10 Using Filters
Threshold
Reduces all colors in an image to a duotone, with the additional ability to limit the
range of midtones that are preserved in the image. The result is an extremely high-
contrast image that defaults to black and white, although you can reduce the image to
any two colors.
Parameters in the Inspector
Threshold: Sets the threshold of selection for color substitution. Values range from 0 to
1.00. The threshold determines what will be considered light and what will be
considered dark areas of the object.
Smoothness: Sets the smoothness of transition between the two colors substituted,
with values ranging from 0 to 1.00.
Dark Color: Picks the color used to represent the dark interpreted areas of the object.
The color picker can be expanded with the disclosure triangle to include Red, Green,
Blue, and Alpha sliders, for more precise color selection.
Light Color: Sets the color used to represent the light interpreted areas of the object.
Dashboard controls
The Dashboard contains the same controls as the Inspector.
Tint
Tints an entire image with a single color. Shadows and highlights are less affected, but
all of the midrange colors in the image are gradually replaced with the tint color as the
Intensity parameter is increased.
Parameters in the Inspector
Color: Picks the color that is used to tint the object. The color picker can be expanded
with the disclosure triangle to display Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha sliders for more
precise color selection.
Intensity: Sets the amount of tint applied to the object.
Original image Dark color: black. Light color: white
