Color balance
The Color Balance command lets you adjust color in shadows, mid-
tones, and highlights. You can use it with paint objects in CMYK
Color or RGB Color modes.
1
Select one or more paint objects to adjust all the images. You
can select an area in one image in edit mode to adjust the selected
area only. If you dont make a selection, the entire image in edit
mode is affected.
2
Choose Image > Adjust > Color Balance.
3
Click Shadows, Midtones, or Highlights to select the tonal range
you want to adjust. You can set the color levels independently for
each tonal range.
4
Drag a slider toward a color label to increase the amount of that
color. The letters indicate the primary color values: Cyan, Red,
Magenta, Green, Yellow, and Blue.
When you increase the amount of a color, you also reduce its inverse,
which is the color labeled at the other end of the slider.
5
Click Preview to preview the color adjustments. Preview is only
available if a single paint object is in edit mode.
6
Click OK to apply the settings.
Levels
You can adjust the brightness of shadows, highlights, or midtones by
using the Levels command. Brightness values range from 0 (black) to
255 (white). For colored pixels, brightness is the brightness value in
each color channel.
The Levels command works with all image modes except Black &
White and Indexed.
