The system asks you to indicate an image to be modified. After you confirm your choice of image, ARC+ opens a dialog box that helps you control and view the modification:

$image\ebx_2005436580.gif$

This dialog box contains two "Before-After" windows for a dynamic preview of the modification.

This dialog box contains three sections representing weights and divided according to the interlinked color channels. Red, Green and Blue. Each of these sections contains three numerical ranges (one for each channel). The default value for every specified channel is 100 and 0 for the other two channels. For example, for the Red Weights section the value of red is 100 while that of green and blue is 0.

You can enter values (between 0 and 100) in the corresponding numerical range or use the $image\ebx_1247886447.gif$ buttons.

The modified channels are given different hues; You can actually replace a color by another by gradually changing the values.

Examples:
