Drawing a window to isolate a region of the picture to highlight
Specific alterations can also be made to prevent audience distraction. For example, a low-
saturation monochromatic tint may be a pleasing look overall, but in the soft wash of color, the
viewer might lose track of the watch that’s preoccupying the protagonist. Using tools such as
the Hue curves and HSL Qualifier, you can quickly and easily tune the color of the woman’s
hands and of the watch to guide the viewer’s eye, and bring some needed depth to the scene.
