About U Point® Technology

U Point technology is a revolutionary new way to selectively edit images in a very fast, easy and natural manner.

U Point 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 will only 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.

However, control points can also be used to enhance fine, small details in an image, such as isolated changes to a face or specific object. All control points within the active image communicate with each other, providing continuity of control over multiple objects throughout the image.
