Using Curves to Adjust Color |
||
1. In case of multi-layered image, select the uppermost layer and "stamp" all visible layers by pressing [Alt+Ctrl+Shift+E] keys.
3. If the image turns black and white, check the "Show Hidden Channels" gadget under the Channels panel. Now all the color channels are visible and we can see the composite image. Note though, that only the "Blue" one is selected at the moment, so all the tools and commands only affect this channel (more about). Any tonal adjustments in this state alter the blue-to-yellow ratio. That is lightening the channel increases amount of the blue (primary) color, darkening the channel adds yellow (complementary) color. 4. In the Commands list, apply the 5. In the dialog box "Curves" that opens, bend the graph down to darken the Blue channel and decrease blue color. And vise versa, by pulling the graph upward, increase the amount of blue (which is equal to decreasing yellow).
