Adobe® Photoshop® CS2 Studio Techniques

Levels/Curves

Choosing Image > Adjustments > Curves will allow you to pick between red, green, and blue, or cyan, magenta, and yellow (depending on which mode your image is in) in the Channel pop-up menu (Figure 10.44). When you work on the Red channel, you'll be able to shift the overall color of your image toward either red or cyan by moving the curve up or down. If you work on the Green channel, you'll be able to shift toward green and magenta, and the Blue channel will allow you to shift toward blue and yellow.

Figure 10.44. Move the curve up or down to push the colors in your image toward or away from the color you choose in the Channel pop-up menu. (©2005 PhotoSpin, www.photospin.com)
