Color Balance

The Color Balance command lets you adjust color in shadows, midtones, and highlights. You can use it with paint objects in CMYK Color or RGB Color modes.

To Use the Color Balance Command:

  1. Select one or more paint objects to adjust all the images. You can select an area in one image in Edit mode to adjust the selected area only. If you don’t make a selection, the entire image in Edit mode is affected.
  2. Choose Image | Adjust | Color Balance.
  3. Click Shadows, Midtones, or Highlights to select the tonal range you want to adjust. You can set the color levels independently for each tonal range.

  4. Drag a slider toward a color label to increase the amount of that color. The letters indicate the primary color values: Cyan, Red, Magenta, Green, Yellow, and Blue.

    When you increase the amount of a color, you also reduce its inverse, which is the color labeled at the other end of the slider.

  5. Click Preview to preview the color adjustments. Preview is only available if a single paint object is in Edit mode.
  6. Click OK to apply the settings.
