Setting Hue Shift

Shifting the hue changes the colors in the image.

You can use hue shift to compensate for material that is too hot or too cool, or simply to correct undesired tones present in the images. Note that in a monochrome or very low saturation image, a hue shift produces no results, since there is no hue to begin with.

Since you are working with a circle, a hue shift value of 360 returns to the original color or image. A hue shift of 180 is equivalent to a negative, as the colors are at their complements. The default for the Hue parameter is 0.

To apply a hue shift:

1. Select the range that you want to modify, then do one of the following:
   • Set the Hue Shift field by either dragging inside the field or typing in a value.
   • Place your mouse on the outer ring of the color wheel and drag in a circular motion.
