10 Adjust color, contrast, and sharpness Curves

The Curves palette makes it possible to adjust color balance and contrast in specific por- tions of the tone range. For example, you can selectively enhance detail in dark portions of the image (shadow), brighten mid-tones, or bring out details in highlights. Changes can be made to all the component colors in the image or only to specific color components (channels).

Color Balance

The Color Balance palette can be used to adjust brightness, contrast, and color balance over the entire tone range.

LCH Editor

The LCH Editor is used to adjust brightness and contrast in specific portions of the tone range, edit chroma to modify color saturation, or “vividness,” and change one set of hues (or colors) in the image to a different color.

Unsharp Mask

The tools in the Unsharp Mask palette sharpen outlines, either throughout the image or only where specific colors predominate.

To open any of the above palettes, click the triangle at its top left corner.
