Using Control Points with the Zone System Map with Silver Efex Pro

Located in the Navigator Loupe (and Histogram window in Silver Efex Pro 2) is the Zone System Map which will help to show the different tonal ranges throughout your image. There are 11 Zones - from pure black to white. If you move your cursor over the different squares in the Zone System Map, you will see areas in your image that will display hash marks which corresponds to the Zone that is being highlighted. By using a Control Point (as indicated in the image below), I have selected an area that I want to match Zone 6. By moving the Brightness slider on the Control Point, (either to the right to lighten the area or to the left to darken the area,) the hash marks will appear in the selected area indicating that it is now matching Zone 6. This is a wonderful feature to use when you want to match a particular tonal value in your image.

Here is an example of using a Control Point to select an area that I want to match to Zone 6.
