Adjusting the Color Correction for the Highlights & Shadows Controls

You use the Color Correction parameter controls to adjust the amount of saturation
applied during shadows and highlights adjustments. However, the saturation
adjustment is most noticeable in the shadows.

To adjust the saturation applied during highlights and shadows adjustments:

1

If necessary, click the Advanced disclosure triangle to show the advanced
Highlights & Shadows controls.

Adjust the Color Correction parameter by doing one of the following:

 Drag the Color Correction slider to the right to increase the amount of saturation

applied during highlights and shadows adjustments, and drag the slider back to the
left to reduce the saturation.

 Click the left or right arrow in the Color Correction value slider, or drag in the value field.

The left arrow reduces the saturation, and the right arrow increases it.

 By default, the Color Correction value slider is set to 0.0. Double-click the number in the

Color Correction value slider, then enter a value from –100.0 to 100.0 and press Return.

The new Color Correction setting determines the amount of saturation applied to the
highlights and shadows during a highlights and shadows adjustment.
