Edit color response or gray response using curves

You can edit the response curves in the Color Adjust pane (for color output) or Curve Edit pane (for black-and-white output) to make precise edits to a job. This feature lets you customize the response curve for each color separation in a color job or for the gray of a black-and-white job.

For a black-and-white job, edits to the gray response curve apply to all pages of the job.

Note: After you make curve edits for a color job, save the job before you switch to the Color Wheel tab. Otherwise, all of your curve edits are lost.
