244 Masks • Extract On Extract On selects the type of selection. Select whichever type isolates the desired values. Hue Selection A selection is created based on one of the following: Luminance A selection is created based on the luminance of the image. Hue A selection is created based on the hue of the image. When adjusting the Position parameter, you are selecting different hues. Saturation A selection is created based on the saturation of the image. Average A selection is created based on the average of the image’s RGB values. Red A selection is created based on the image’s red values. Green A selection is created based on the image’s green values. Blue A selection is created based on the image’s blue values. Dfx User Guide •
Cyan A selection is created based on the image’s cyan values. Magenta A selection is created based on the image’s magenta values. Yellow A selection is created based on the image’s yellow values. Position The Position value pinpoints the color values to be used in the selection. For a luminance selection, a Position value of 100 would make a white selection of the highlights and a value of 0 would make a white selection of the shadows. In our flower image, look at how the selection varies for different Position values in a red extraction. When the Position is at a value of 100, the red flowers are shown as white in the selection. Masks 245 • Position=100, Range=25 When the Position is moved to 50, the red flowers turn black. Position=50, Range=25 Dfx User Guide •
