COLOR LIGHTNESS
The Color Lightness editor enables you
to control the brightness of colors in
the image without affecting Chroma
or Hue. You can use this editor to
target and brighten specific colors,
such as lightening a person's skin tone,
or darkening the sky of a landscape
without affecting other objects.
Within this editor, you are provided
with the Hue Map, representing the full
spectrum of colors on the horizontal
axis, with the brightness of the colors
on the vertical axis. A Color Lightness
Curve, superimposed above the Hue
Map, can be used to isolate and adjust
the lightness of individual colors.
Clicking on the curve will create an
anchor point. Moving that anchor
point upward makes colors in the
affected portion of the color range
brighter. Taking that same anchor point
and moving it downward makes the
affected colors darker.
Using the Width slider increases or
decreases the range of similar colors
affected by the color identified with the
anchor point.
Anchor points can be removed by
simply clicking and dragging the anchor
point off of the Hue Map.
