To modify the range of Hue/Saturation sliders
Do one of the following in the Editor:

In the Hue/Saturation dialog box, choose an individual color from the Edit menu.

Do any of the following to the adjustment slider:
3
Drag one of the triangles to adjust the amount of color fall-off without affecting the range.
•
Drag one of the light gray bars to adjust the range without affecting the amount of fall-off.
•
Drag the dark gray center part to move the entire adjustment slider, selecting a different color area.
•
Drag one of the vertical white bars next to the dark gray center part to adjust the range of the color component.
•
Increasing the range decreases the fall-off, and vice versa.
To move the color bar and the adjustment slider bar together, Command-drag the color bar.

If you modify the adjustment slider so that it falls into a different color range, the name changes to reflect this. For
example, if you choose Yellow and alter its range so that it falls in the red part of the color bar, the name changes to
Red 2. You can convert up to six of the individual color ranges to varieties of the same color range (for example, Red
1 through Red 6).
Note: By default, the range of color selected when you choose a color component is 30˚ wide, with 30˚ fall-off on either
side. Setting the fall-off too low can produce banding in the image.
To edit the range by choosing colors from the image, select the eyedropper tool in the dialog box, and click in the
4
image. Use the eyedropper + to add to the range; use the eyedropper - tool to subtract from the range.
While the eyedropper tool is selected, you can also press Shift to add to the range or press Option to subtract from it.
To adjust the color of skin tone
The Adjust Color For Skin Tone command adjusts the overall color in a photo to bring out more natural skin tones.
When you click on an area of skin in the photo, Photoshop Elements adjusts the skin tone—as well as all other colors
in the photo. You can manually adjust the brown and red colors separately to achieve the final color you want.
