Color Examples; Before You Begin - Minolta DIMAGE Scan Dual III Instruction Manual

C
OLOR EXAMPLES
Tone-curve corrections
By selecting individual color channels on the tone curve, adjustments to the overall
color of an image can be made. In this example, the image is too yellow. By moving
the blue curve up, the image looks more neutral. For more on tone curve correc-
tions, see page 71.
Selective-color palette
In the original image, the colors
were muted making the whole
scene flat. By subtracting cyan
from the red channel, the bridge
and faint details in the clouds could
be accentuated. The cloud detail
was further enhanced by subtract-
ing yellow from the blue channel.
For more on the selective color
palette, see page 79.
