Adjusting color, saturation, and hue
Adjust saturation and hue
The Hue/Saturation command adjusts the hue (color), saturation (purity), and lightness of the entire image or of
individual color components in an image.
Use the Hue slider to add special effects, to color a black and white image (like a sepia effect), or to change the range of
colors in a portion of an image.
A Original B Entire image changed to sepia using the Colorize option C Magenta colors targeted in the Edit menu and changed using the Hue
slider
Use the Saturation slider to make colors more vivid or more muted. For example, you could add a color punch to a
landscape by saturating the colors in it. Or, tone down a distracting color, like a vivid red sweater in a portrait.
Use the Lightness slider with the other adjustments to lighten or darken a portion of an image. Take care not to use it
on an entire image—this adjustment reduces the overall tonal range.
