Taking Photographs—Image Adjustment

Image Adjustment

Controlling Color: Hue Adjustment

Hue can be adjusted in the range about –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.

To choose a hue adjustment, highlight Hue Ad-

justment in the shooting menu and press the

multi selector to the right.

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.
