Controlling Color: Hue Adjustment

This option is used to adjust the hue of photo-

graphs as they are taken. Hue can be adjusted in

the range –9 ° to 9 ° in increments of 3 °. If red is

taken as the starting color, raising hue above 0 °

(the default setting) would introduce a yellow cast,

making colors that would be red at a setting of

0 ° appear increasingly orange. Lowering hue

below 0 ° would introduce a blue cast, making

colors that would be red at a setting of 0 ° appear

increasingly purple.

Hue

The RGB color model used in digital photographs reproduces colors using differing

amounts of red, green, and blue light. By mixing two colors of light, a variety of differ-

ent colors can be produced. For example, red combined with a small amount of green

light produces orange. If red and green are mixed in equal amounts, yellow results,

while a smaller amount of red produces a yellow green. Mixing different amounts of

red and blue light produces colors ranging from a reddish purple through purple to

navy, while mixing different amounts of green and blue light produces colors ranging

from emerald to turquoise. (Adding a third color of light results in lighter hues; if all

three mixed in equal amounts, the results range from white through gray.) When this

progression of hues is arranged in a circle, the result is known as a color wheel.
