Hue, Saturation, And Lightness - Konica Minolta DiMAGE Master Lite Instruction Manual

3.8 HUE, SATURATION, & LIGHTNESS
Hue, saturation, and lightness corrections can be applied
to an image. Click the image thumbnail to display it in
the preview area.
Click the hue, saturation, and lightness button to open
the dialog box.
Click and drag on the sliders or enter a value in the text
boxes to make corrections: changes are applied to the
preview image. The hue slider rotates the colors in the
image through the color space; the maximum position to
the right (180°) is the same as the maximum position to
the left (–180°).
Two color spaces are displayed at the bottom of the
dialog box. The top bar indicates the color space of the
original image. The bottom bar displays the relative
changes to the color space.
To cancel the changes click the reset button. Click the
close button to close the window. If a change is made,
an indicator is shown on the hue, saturation, and
lightness button.
Click the variation button to open the variation palette,
see the next section.
The hue, saturation and lightness
controls adjust the image in
reference to the HSL color
model. Hue refers to each
separate color in the model.
Saturation is how vivid each
colors is. Lightness describes
how bright or dark a color is in
the color space.
When changing hue, each color is assigned a new hue depending on the degree of rotation through
the color space. In the example, the original image was rotated 180° through the color space.
