Adjusting Hue and Saturation
Adjusting Hue and Saturation
Hue and saturation describe the color values and
intensity of an image. Picture a color wheel like the one
you used in art class, with all the colors of a rainbow
arranged in a circle. When you change the hue of an
image, all the colors are shifted by the same degree
around the circle.
You can adjust the hue and saturation of a selected area
or an entire image. Follow these steps:
1
Select the area you want to change, or make sure no
area is selected if you want to change the entire
image.
