Color 101
4 Adjust the Hue, Saturation, and Value sliders to control hue, saturation, and value
ranges for color variability:
• Moving the ±Hue slider to the right increases the number of hues in the
resulting brush stroke. These colors are the ones adjacent to the selected color
on the color wheel.
• Moving the ±Saturation slider to the right increases variability in the color
intensity of the brush stroke.
• Moving the ±Value slider to the right increases variability in the brightness of
the brush stroke.
You can try different ±HSV settings with any of the brushes to produce interesting
results.
When you save a brush variant, the current color variability setting is also
saved.
When working with brushes like the Loaded Oils brush or the Van Gogh and
Seurat variants of the Artists brush, you can add natural, almost 3D-looking
effects to your Web page images by moving the Hue, Saturation, and Value
settings to the right.
