Xara Photo Editing Tip-The Gradient Map Adjustment in Xara

[handrawn]

nothing wrong with the mathematical mapping of 'light' and 'dark' 'contone' onto the image in xara - and its a useful feature

but the user is not in control of it [the profile slider that Marc mentioned is useful as a 'balancing/cross-fade' control, but little else]

a couple of PS examples attached where the user has actually been defining the mapping of the colour[s]

EDIT: that is defining the mapping by defining the gradient - which you can't do in xara - there is a difference between something being mapped by default... and actually mapping something...
