Color-Grad®
Color-Grad® can transform an average sunrise or sunset into something
spectacular or convert a dull, washed-out sky to a breathtaking blue. Add color
selectively while leaving the rest of the scene unaffected by using a graduated
transition between the colored portion and the original image.
1 Apply Color-Grad® from the HFX Grads/Tints category.
2 Try out some of the presets.
3 If the Parameters window is not showing, click the Parameters tab at the bottom
of the Presets window.
