U Point technology is a revolutionary new way to selectively edit images in a very fast, easy and natural manner.
The U Point technology powered control points let you identify and isolate objects
within a photograph by placing a control point on the object or area to be affected. By
analyzing the color, tonality, detail, and location, the control point automatically determines
where and how to apply certain effects, based on your needs.
If you’re familiar with using more "painterly" methods to apply effects
to images (as in all other image editing software), this can take
a few minutes to get used to, however the learning will be well
worth it! Control points can be used to make changes such as changing
the contrast of clouds in the sky, darkening a background to make
your foreground objects "pop" more,
or brightening objects that need a little extra help. In the darkroom,
burning and dodging tools would allow you to control the tonality
of your print; with control points you can control the tonality,
contrast, and structure of specific areas and objects with more
precision, ease and repeatability than in the darkroom.
