the effect shown in Figure 9-24. Everything orange changes to
red; other colors remain untouched.Figure 9-24.
PeaRl Of WISDOmNotice that your range for modifying any hue is limited. For example, I can
rotate the hues of the flowers between red and yellow, but I can’t make them
purple. The other sliders in the Hue subpanel don’t help because each slider
operates on the original colors, not the modified ones.
- Change the hues behind the wing. Case in point: Click the
close-up shot Wing.dng in the vertical filmstrip. The background
is a yellowish green but I want it to be blue. Change the Greens
value to its absolute maximum, +100. The background becomes
bluer, falling more or less in the aqua range. It’s tempting to in-
crease the Aquas value, but the base raw image has no aquas,
so the Aquas slider has no effect. I could get clever and heap
on more color adjustments using Temperature, Tint, and the
options in the Camera Calibration panel. But if I really have
my heart set on a blue background, I’m better off opening the
image in Photoshop and applying the Hue/Saturation command.
