Color Mechanic Quick Tour

Working With Control Points

Changing Control Points
To modify a control point's starting or ending colors, simply drag either its circle or its arrow head. You can tell when the cursor is near one of the endpoints since it changes shape from an arrow to a cross.
To modify a control point's brightness change, click on it once to select it and then drag the Brightness Change Slider .

Setting Control Points Points Manually
You can set control points to specfic RGB or CMYK values or to the current foreground or background colors. To do so, Ctrl-Click (Mac) or Right-Click (PC) on the control point and display the Setting dialog. Set the desired values. You can also remove control points and reset them.

This concludes the Quick Start tutorial. For a complete description of Color Mechanic's features and more examples of its use, please see the Reference Manual.
