Before

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 corrections, see page 71.

Tone-curve corrections

COLOR EXAMPLES

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 subtracting yel-

low from the blue channel. For more on

the selective color palette, see page 79.
