Setting a Sample's Pin Mode
This section describes how to modify the pin mode of a sample. The pin mode is a command, associated with a pinned sample, describing how Curvemeister should use a curve to modify the source color of the image. An ordinary sample, created, for example, by alt-clicking on the image window, has a pin mode of none, indicating that the image will not be modified using information from the sample. A pinned sample resulting from dragging a pin from the pin palette onto the image inherits its pin mode from the particular pin that was dragged.

Once a pinned sample is created, its pin mode is accessed only from the Pin Mode sub-menu of the sample pane. Here it can be seen that shadow, highlight, and neutral are implemented as pin modes. Hue/Sat (highlighted by the cursor) is probably the most common and useful pin mode. The check marks indicate which components of the pin color will be used when Curvemeister adds curve control points to the curves, in the quest to match the pin color. None, as the name implies, turns the pinned sample back to an ordinary sample that indicates colors, but does not change them. |
