Using HSV Arithmetic

Use HSV Arithmetic to apply specific mathematical operations to the Hue, Saturation, and Value channels. Each channel has a separate Operator list and Operand slider for specifying settings independently.

To apply an HSV Arithmetic filter:

1. Select the layer.
2. Choose Operators | Channel | HSV Arithmetic.

The HSV Arithmetic Controls panel appears.

The HSV Arithmetic Controls panel contains the following elements.

Operator

Specifies which mathematical operation is applied to the selected channel. For a complete list of options, see Operator List Options.

Operators are available for Hue, Saturation, and Value.

Operand

Specifies the intensity of the selected operator for the specified channel. The effect depends on the mathematical operator specified. Typically, 0% applies no mathematical operations, while 100% is full intensity of the selected operator.

Operands are available for Hue, Saturation, and Value.

Blend

Specifies the percentage amount for which the channel effect is visible over the original layer. Values below 100% allow you to see the original layer.
