Color Balance


    This effect changes the amount of red, green, and blue color in a layer. The center point of each slider is neutral and indicates no effect. A setting of -100 removes all of the color; a setting of +100 intensifies the color. The layer's quality setting does not affect Color Balance.

    The Shadow/Midtone/Hilight (Channel) Balance option specifies the amount of a channel's color in the darker, middle, and lighter color intensity ranges of a layer. Preserve Luminosity preserves the average brightness of the image while changing the color. This option maintains the tonal balance in the image.
