Adjusting Image Colors
The Image/Adjust menu provides a number of different adjustment
filters that you can apply to a selection or to a non-text layer (the
commands are grayed out if the active layer is a text layer).
Each of the Adjustment options works in a similar way. At the top of
most of the dialogs there is a preview area. Zoom in or out by clicking
on the magnifier below the preview image. Alter the values by dragging
on a slider, moving it to the left to decrease the value, or the right to
increase the value, or enter a value in the field at the right of the slider.
Tip: Instead of dragging the slider with the mouse, you can click on it
and then jog it with the left or right cursor arrow keys.
For an overview of image adjustments, take a look at the Effects
Gallery, a component of PhotoPlus online help. It’s a great way to get
an overview of what Adjustments and Effects do.
To access the Effects Gallery, choose Effects Gallery... from the Help
menu, or click Effects Gallery on the main help Contents menu.
The Effects Gallery provides illustrations of all the Image Menu
adjustments and effects. For each category, there’s a list of names.
Clicking on the name shown in red text displays an example, and then
clicking the name again (now in green text) displays the corresponding
help topic in an adjacent window. This way you can browse the
illustrations and read about them at the same time.
