4 Adjust the Saturation in the Shadows, Midtones or Highlights.
In some of the filters, a selection is generated to create the desired effect--in
this case, selective saturation. Shadow, midtone and highlight selections have
been preset for you to adjust the saturation selectively in those areas.
5 Change your View to Shadows, Midtones or Highlights to see the selection
values.
The areas that are white in the selection are the areas that will be adjusted by
the Saturation sliders. The areas defined as shadows, midtones or highlights
can be adjusted by modifying the Position and Range parameters.
6 Use the Shadows, Midtones or Highlights Position parameters if you want to
select different values to be used for the selection.
7 Increase the Shadows, Midtones or Highlights Range controls to add more
values to the selection. Decrease for less values.
8 Change your View to Output to see the image.
9 Click the Done button to apply the filter to your image.
See the Selective Saturation filter on page 430 for more information.
