What is a color correction? Images could need adjustment to either
colors, values or both. Photos can sometimes have a color SHIFT,
too much red or blue, etc. This is known as a COLOR CAST.
How can I access the color correction controls? IMAGE menu
Automatic filters: auto tone auto contrast auto color
IMAGE menu ADJUSTMENTSManual controls: Hue/Saturation Color Balance Shadows / Highlights
What is COLOR BALANCE?
Drag the arrows toward the color you want to add.
Independently control the shadows, midtones and highlights.
What is SHADOWS/HIGHLIGHTS? Special filter
design to just effect the tonal or value range in an image.
Use when shadows are too dark or “filled in”.
What is HUE / SATURATION?
Adjusts color by HUE, SATURATION or LIGHTNESS (brightness or value).
Use MASTER to affect the entire image.
Choose a target color to affect only those portions of the image.
What is COLORIZE?
Color is first converted to GRAYSCALE and then a specific HUE is combined with those values.
What is COLORIZE?
The affects the entire image.
How can I colorize in areas?
Use the COLOR mode with the paintbrush, fill or layer to spot colorize.

combinations. Save as: yourname_hue-sat.psd
