Using HSV mode

---

Use HSV mode to correct colors in the HSV colorspace:

• You can vary the saturation and the value (i.e. brightness) components.

• You can vary these components for all colors, or only for those having mid-range values of the component.

These are the controls you use:

1. Click on the Saturation or the Value button to choose which component to correct.

2. Click on the Gamma or the Contrast button to choose which colors will be altered:

• The Gamma button makes the correction only alter colors with mid-range values of the component you've chosen.

• The Contrast button makes the correction alter all colors.

3. Adjust 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 saturation's gamma by 50%, and then (without locking) click on the Value button, the saturation's gamma is no longer increased - but the value's gamma 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 gamma and its contrast, this works in a similar way.

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

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