- You can choose, between six, the three primary colors (Red,
- Green and Blue) and the three complementary colors (Cyan,
- Magenta and Yellow), the color to be modified. They are
- arranged according to the color circle. When hue increases, hue
- goes counter-clockwise. When it decreases, it goes clockwise. If
- you click on the <span class="guilabel">Master</span> button, all colors
- will be concerned with changes. GIMP standard is to set Red as 0.
- Note that this colors refer to color ranges and not to color
- channels.

- Hue changes are shown in color swatches and the result is visible
- in the image if the “<span class="quote">Preview</span>” option is enabled.
