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
through Red 6).
Note: By default, the range of color selected when
you choose a color component is 30° wide, with 30°
of fall-off on either side. Setting the fall-off too low
can produce banding in the image.
