Color Balance (HLS) effect
The Color Balance (HLS) effect alters an image's levels of hue, lightness, and saturation. It is intended only to provide
compatibility with projects created in earlier versions of After Effects that use the Color Balance (HLS) effect. For
new projects, use the Hue/Saturation effect, which operates the same as the Hue/Saturation command in Adobe
Photoshop. You can convert a movie to grayscale by setting the Saturation to –100.
This effect works with 8-bpc and 16-bpc color.
