Using Tint mode

---

Use Tint mode to add a tint. These are the controls you use:

1. Ensure the Color Chooser window is displayed:

• Choose Tools > Color Chooser.

2. Choose the tint you wish to add; see Choosing colors.

3. Use the Preserve Contrast checkbox to set whether or not to preserve contrast:

• If you preserve contrast, areas that were originally darker than the tint remain darker

• If you don't preserve contrast, a 100% tint will correct all colors to be the same as the tint color.

4. Adjust the tint:

• If you're displaying a single image, use the slider: see Using sliders.

• If you're using a tiled view, you'll probably find it easiest to choose from the variations you're shown; see Using tiled views. However, you can still use the slider if you want.

You can, of course, change between the single and tiled views as necessary.

5. When you're satisfied with the tint, use the Lock button to add it to the list of corrections to be applied; see Clearing and locking corrections. If you do not lock the correction:

• When you change to a new tint color, the tinting no longer uses the previous color, but instead uses the new one. For example, if you are adding a 50% orange tint, and then (without locking) change the color well to purple, the orange tint is no longer added - but a 50% purple tint is instead added.

If you wished to keep the previous tint, put the previous color back into the color well, and lock the correction.

• When you change modes, you will lose any unlocked correction you have made in Tint mode.

6. Make any further tints as necessary, following steps 2-5 above.
