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  ADJUSTMENTS Manual 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.
