Adjust the following controls for the Hue/Saturation effect:
Channel Control
Specifies the color channel you want to adjust. Choose Master to adjust all colors at once.
Channel Range
Specifies the definition of the color channel chosen in the Channel Control menu. Two color bars
represent the colors in their order on the color wheel. The upper color bar shows the color before the adjustment;
the lower bar shows how the adjustment affects all of the hues at full saturation. Use the adjustment slider to edit any
range of hues.
Master Hue
Specifies the overall hue of the channel chosen in the Channel Control menu. Use the dial, which repre-
sents the color wheel, to change the overall hue. The underlined value displayed above the dial reflects the number
of degrees of rotation around the wheel from the pixel’s original color. A positive value indicates clockwise rotation;
a negative value indicates counterclockwise rotation. Values range from –180 to +180.
Master Saturation, Master Lightness
Specify the overall saturation and lightness of the channel chosen in the
Channel Control menu. Values range from –100 to +100.
Colorize
Adds color to a grayscale image converted to RGB, or adds color to an RGB image—for example, to make
it look like a duotone image by reducing its color values to one hue.
Colorize Hue, Colorize Saturation, Colorize Lightness
Specify the hue, saturation, and lightness of the color range
you chose in the Channel Control menu. After Effects displays only the sliders for the Channel Control menu choice.
