The Hue Editor
When Hue is selected from the menu at the top of the LCH
Editor palette, the editor takes on the appearance shown on
the following page. The controls for editing hue are unique,
consisting of a rainbow-colored background bisected by a straight
line, representing the hues (colors) in the original image. Super-
imposed on this line is another representing the colors in the
image after editing. Before editing, the output line is the same as
the input line, so that, for example, reds in the input will be
represented as red in the final image. By changing the shape of
this line, you can change the relationship between input and
output colors over a portion of the color range, with the result
that colors that are red in the original might be output as or-
ange, or even green or blue.
