Color Balancing with Hue Tint and Strength

The two parameters used with color balancing are tint and strength. The value of tint determines the color to add and the value of strength specifies the amount of color to use.

To adjust tint and strength:

Do one of the following:

• Adjust the Tint and Strength fields.
• Click and drag the center of the wheel. The tint and strength values update accordingly. Click and drag again to adjust a different range (shadows, midtones, or highlights) of colors.

Pure red is the 0-degree point for hue on the color wheel. When you increase the tint value, you move counterclockwise on the color wheel. When you use a negative value for tint, you move clockwise on the color wheel.

The center of the color wheel represents 0 strength. As you increase the value of strength, you move towards the edge of the color wheel and add more of the selected color to the image.
