Using RGB mode

---

Use RGB mode to correct colors in the RGB colorspace:

• You can vary a single component at a time (Red, Green, or Blue), two components at a time (Cyan, Magenta, or Yellow), or all three (White).

• You can alter each component's brightness and/or contrast.

These are the controls you use:

1. Click on the color button for the component you wish to correct. From left to right, they represent the following color components:

• Red

• Green

• Blue

• Cyan (i.e. blue and green)

• Magenta (i.e. red and blue)

• Yellow (i.e. red and green)

• White (i.e. red, blue and green - all colors).

2. Click on the Brightness or the Contrast button to choose whether to correct the selected component's brightness or its contrast.

3. Correct the component:

• If you're displaying a single image, use the slider: see Using sliders.

• If you're using a tiled view, you'll probably find it easiest to choose from the variations you're shown; see Using tiled views. However, you can still use the slider if you want.

You can, of course, change between the single and tiled views as necessary.

4. When you're satisfied with the correction, use the Lock button to add it to the list of corrections to be applied; see Clearing and locking corrections. If you do not lock the correction:

• When you change to a new component, the correction no longer adjusts the previous component, but instead adjusts the new one. For example, if you are increasing the red brightness by 50%, and then (without locking) click on the button for the green component, the red brightness is no longer increased - but the green brightness is instead increased by 50%.

If you wished to keep the previous component's correction, simply change back to the previous component, and lock the correction.

• When you change between correcting a component's brightness and its contrast, this works in a similar way.

• However, when you change modes, you will lose any unlocked correction you have made in RGB mode.

5. Adjust any further components as necessary, following steps 1-4 above.
