Color > LCH

The

LCH tool provides four different channels, each channel providing controls unique to that method. Use

the channel pull-down menu to select which channel to use. The available channels are:

Master Lightness

The

Master Lightness channel is similar to the Levels & Curves tool, but it affects only the lightness of the

image without affecting the color. This is a great way to affect the tonality for your image without
introducing unwanted color casts.

3

Click directly on the curve for the selected channel to add an anchor point that can be moved and

adjusted. Depending on the channel selected, the adjustments made to the curve will have

different effects on the image.

4

After making adjustments to the first channel, you

may make additional adjustments by selecting

another option from the channel pull-down menu.

The enhancements made within each editor will

remain, enabling you to make adjustments to

different channels within the same LCH

enhancement.
