Intensity bits from the SOURCE will map on those of the DESTINATION.
If there is no selection from the DESTINATION bits, the mapping will start at bit 1 of the DESTINATION channel

•	To select SOURCE intensity from the bitmap, just click on the bitmap.
The matching intensity will be highlighted accordingly.

Making Adjustment

1 	Click on a desired spot on the graph to change the curve.  Consequently, the bitmap will be changed as the curve indicated.

Adjustment by flat intensity

Text/Line...Printing

•	If text or line,...is merged onto the image then the image is printed.
