Closing Thoughts

As you've seen in this chapter, a boggling multitude of techniques exist for manipulating the colors in your images. You don't have to know or remember how to use every single one of them—just pick out the ones you're most comfortable with and stick with them for a while. Then, once you feel confident with them, come on back and read this chapter again and add a few more techniques to your adjustment arsenal. To be honest, I mainly use Hue/Saturation, Auto Color, and the Color Replacement brush for most of my color manipulation tasks. But don't use those three just because I do; instead, try them all and find your own favorites.
