File Facts

The format of this file is TIFF and it contains all the layers used in the Tone Management System Example.  This file was created in Photoshop CS on a Microsoft Windows^®-based computer.  If your version of Photoshop supports layered TIFF files, you should be able to open this file.

When the file is open, the three color sampler targets may not be visible.  To activate them, either open any of the adjustment layers, or, press the letter i on your keyboard to activate the Eyedropper tool .  If you wish to compare the tone of the color sampler targets to the values stated on the web site, be sure to set the Eyedropper tool sample size to Point sample.  You should come very close for targets 1 and 3.  However, because target 2 is on the edge of very different tones and because this file is a much lower resolution than the original, you will probably not match target two.

To see the Levels adjustment, open the Levels adjustment layer dialog box and change the Channel drop down box to Red.
