You may also select the black, white and/or gray point directly from an image by pointing and clicking.

EditLab will automatically determine if the color you mark is to be the black, white or gray point, by seeing if it is a dark, light or midtone color. The cursor appearance indicates which it is:

Black and White Point with Eyedropper

Clicking the Reset button within the edit tool panel will set the black point to zero, the gray point to 50 and the white point to 100 (the values that cause the lightness range to remain unchanged).

Note that if the master SmartColor Mode checkbox is enabled, whenever the black, white or gray point is changed, the controls in the Brightness/Contrast/Saturation and Hue Selective tool panels will be automatically recomputed based on an analysis of the newly corrected image.
