Lesson 03b: Key Points

Variations

  • Color cast is a malady in which one color pervades an image to an unrealistic or undesirable degree.
  • Variations may be Photoshop's most straight-forward color adjustment command.
  • Variations provides you with an array of thumbnail previews.
  • Your job is to pick the thumbnail preview that looks better than the Current Pick.
  • Clicking more of one color is the same as clicking less of the opposite (complementary) color.
  • The amount of change that occurs when you click can be altered by moving the slider toward Fine or Course.
  • Click the Highlights radio button to affect only the highlights in an image.
  • Click the Shadows radio button to affect only the shadows in an image.
  • On the right you can click for a lighter or darker image.
  • Click on the Saturation radio button to choose more or less saturation.
  • Variations can be found in the Images > Adjustments menu.
