w The hue (H) is represented by the size of the segment angle (the “width of the wedge of
pie”).
w The saturation (S) is represented by the radial extension of the segment.
w The third dimension, luminance (L), is visible only in the Cube Display
(
page 11-193).
w The transition range (Softness, dark blue marking) defines the transition from the
selected range (light blue) to the non-selected surroundings. The larger the transition
range, the softer the transition.
2 In the next few steps, you will try to optimize the selection.
For example, if you wish to isolate and then modify a specific red hue, the associated
color locuses (the green points in the Vector Display) should be as completely covered by
the selection range as possible in all three components (H, S, and L).
3 If several Vectors exist, select one (see above, step 6).
4 To fine-trim the selection, optimize the luminance (L), saturation (S) and hue (H).
(Depending on the image motif, you will not necessarily have to optimize all three com-
ponents and not necessarily in this order.)
w Luminance (L) -
Switch to the Cube Display and click the L icon.
Working image: Only the ranges that meet the Y center plus/minus Y range criterion are
displayed. The rest of the image is displayed as standard gray (Y=128).
Cube Display: The currently valid luminance range (along the Y axis) is displayed as blue.
Move the Range slider so that the standard gray disappears from the areas you want to
edit or until the luminance range outlined in blue in the Vector Display includes the rele-
vant color locuses.
Finally, click the L icon once again.
w Saturation (S)-
Switch to the Vector Display and click the S icon.
Working image: Only the ranges that meet the Cb center, Cr center plus/minus Saturation
range criterion are displayed. The rest of the image is displayed as standard gray (Y=128).
