When you press the Thumbnail/Zoom Out button, a grid display, like the one shown in
Figure 8.25, appears, showing the relative contrast and saturation of each of the prede-
fined Picture Controls. If you’ve created your own custom Picture Controls, they will
appear on this grid, too, represented by the numbers 1-9. Because the values for auto-
contrast and autosaturation may vary, the icons for any Picture Control that uses the Auto
feature will be shown on the grid in green, with lines extending up and down from the
icon to tip you off that the position within the coordinates may vary from the one shown.
