The Chroma Editor enables you to

edit the Chroma, or saturation, of the

entire image or of specific colors within

the active image without affecting

Luminosity or Hue.

Within the Chroma Editor, you are

provided with a Hue Map, represent-

ing the full spectrum of colors on the

horizontal axis, with the Chroma of the

colors of the vertical axis. Superimposed

above this Hue Map, you are provided

with a Chroma Curve that can be used

to isolate and adjust the Chroma of

individual colors.

Clicking on the curve will create an

anchor point. Moving that anchor point

upward makes colors in the affected

portion of the color range more

saturated. Taking that same anchor

point and moving it downward makes

the affected colors less saturated.

Anchor points can be removed by

simply clicking and dragging the anchor

point off the Hue Map.

Use the Width slider to increase or

decrease the range of similar colors

affected by the color identified with the

anchor point.

The Output slider affects the satura-

tion of all of the colors throughout the

image evenly. Moving this slider up will

increase the saturation of all colors,

while moving this slider down will

decrease the saturation of all colors.

The Chroma Editor contains a number

of additional controls:

Exclude Gray

Check this box to prevent any satura-

tion increases from affecting neutral

colors (grays) in the image. This is

helpful as neutral colors (grays) may

seem oversaturated when chroma is

raised.

Please note

The Exclude Gray

option has no effect when chroma is

lowered below the value in the original

image.

Set Anchor Point

Click on this button and then click on

the active image to select a color to

place an anchor point on the Chroma

Curve.

Reset Current Channel

Click on this button to reset only the

Chroma Editor to the default values.
