Expert edit

Gradient maps

Gradient maps add different hues,

depending on where light and dark tones

are. They’re great for transforming the

entire colour of an image with a few clicks.

Colour Balance

The Colour Balance adjustment will

enhance the colours already in an image.

Tweak between Cyan/Red, Magenta/Green

and Yellow/Blue.

Colour Lookup

For a professional-looking tone, Colour

Lookup can help. Choose from the drop-

down menus and switch the blend mode to

lessen the effect if need be.

Curves

The Curves feature is a versatile

adjustment: use it to alter the red, green or

blue of your image, as well as the whites,

blacks, lights and darks.
