Adjusting Custom Colors Using the Color Eyedropper
If you require a more specific hue as a starting point for your color adjustment, you can
use the Color eyedropper to identify a hue in the image.
To adjust a custom color value in an image
1 Select an image.
2 In the Color area of the Adjustments inspector or the Adjustments pane of the Inspector
HUD, click the color button with the hue closest to the one you plan to adjust, then select
the Color eyedropper tool.
Click the Color eyedropper
and select the color in the
image you want to adjust.
The pointer changes to an eyedropper, and the Loupe appears, showing a magnified
view of the target area. By default, the Loupe is set to magnify the image to 100 percent
(full size). If necessary, you can increase the magnification of the Loupe by pressing
Command–Shift–Plus Sign (+). For more information about the Loupe, see Viewing Images
with the Loupe.
3 Position the eyedropper over the color in the image that you want to adjust, then click.
The new hue is selected and becomes the starting point for color adjustments of that
hue. For more information about Color adjustments, see Adjusting the Color of the Image
with the Color Controls.
