The Saturation Curve tool lets you increase or
decrease the color intensity (chroma or
saturation) of an image without altering its hue
and lightness values.
In the example here, the colors in the original
are not as saturated as they should be, resulting
in a dull, lifeless image. The solution: To
increase the saturation or intensity of the colors
and restore vibrancy to the image.
1. Place the image to be corrected on your
scanner.
2. Click the Overview button to start an
overview, and you will see the image appear
in your Preview window.
3. Select the area to be prescanned with the
Scan Frame tool, then click the Prescan
button to obtain a prescan image, and switch
to the Prescan view in the View menu.
4. Click the Saturation Curve tool in the
Settings window. The Saturation Curve
screen will appear.
5. Move the pointer over the curve, and drag
the center of the curve to the left. This
increases the saturation of the image.
6. Check the Preview box so that the image in
the Preview window is updated with the
latest image correction. The update is done
in the background and so may take a few
moments to show.
7. Click OK to confirm the correction.
