Using the Saturation Warning

Image-Pro with Capture Module Only

Saturation is used to show overexposed and underexposed areas with a given color. It can be used with the live preview to set proper exposure time and avoid under- or over-saturated areas, so that intensity measurements on the image will be correct. The Saturation tool is located in the Instensity group of the Capture ribbon.

Click the Saturation tool's down arrow to see the drop-down menu. It has controls to se the High and Low levels for the purposes of showing the saturation warnings.

The colors to be used for the High and Low levels are set using High level and Low level color pickers. Intensities that are greater than or equal to the High Level threshold will be colored with the designated high color.

Intensities that are less than or equal to Low Level threshold will be colored with the designated low color.

The channels used for saturation test can be selected using Red/Green/Blue checkboxes or by clicking the Channels button.

This is a sample of a partial image with the high saturation areas visible:

To enable saturation warning in the live preview using the current settings, click the Saturation button. The Reset button sets the controls back to their default values.
