All these methods are described in this chapter. Once you’ve selected a region of the
image to work on, the Control pop-up menu lets you apply separate operations to the
inside and outside of the selection.

Stage 2:

Making Color Balance, Contrast, and Saturation Adjustments

After you’ve qualified an area for correction, you can use the same color balance controls,
primary contrast sliders, Saturation and Lift/Gain/Gamma parameters in the Basic tab, as
well as the RGB parameters in the Advanced tab that are available in the Primary In room.
For more information about these controls, see

The Primary In Room

.

Note: There is one additional correction parameter available in the Secondaries room
that’s not available in the Primary In and Out rooms, and that is the Global Hue parameter.
Using Global Hue, you can rotate the hue of every single color in the image at once. Unlike
the other parameters in the Secondaries room, Global Hue affects every pixel of the image,
and is not limited by the HSL qualifiers or the vignette controls.

Stage 3:

Moving Through the Eight Tabs to Make More Corrections

Once you’ve completed the correction at hand, you can move on to the next secondary
operation you need to perform. The Secondaries room supports up to eight separate
secondary operations (although you may only have seven if you’re in single display mode).

In the next few sections, you’ll learn how to isolate areas of the image in different ways.

The Enabled Button in the Secondaries Room

The Enabled button, at the top left of the Secondaries control area, is one of the most
important controls in this room. Each of the eight tabs in the Secondaries room has its
own Enabled button.

Whenever you make an adjustment to any parameter or control in the Secondaries room,
this button is automatically turned on.

This button can be used to disable any Secondaries tab. For example:

• You can turn the Enabled button off and on to get a before-and-after preview of how

the secondary is affecting the image.

• You can turn the Enabled button off to disable a secondary effect without resetting it,

in case you want to bring it back later.
