The Hue Channel

The hue editor is used to map selected colors in the original (input) image to a specific range of colors in the final (output) image. This can be used, for example, to make all reds in the image slightly more orange, or even green or blue.

Hue curve: Maps hue in the original image (input) to the hue of the image after editing (out- put). Select a point on the curve that corresponds to the desired input color and drag it up and down until it intersects with the desired output color.

Width slider: Adjust the width of the curve that passes through the selected point, increasing or decreasing the range of hues affected by the change.

Output slider: Moving the slider affects the hue of all colors in the image.

Scale button: Click to change the vertical scale from 60 ° through 120 ° to 180 ° and back again (the degrees in this scale refer to 360 ° color wheel). Increasing the scale increases the range of hues visible in the display, while decreasing the scale increases precision.
