hue, saturation, and lightness of a specific range of colors in
an image or simultaneously adjust all the colors in an image. This
adjustment is especially good for fine-tuning colors in a CMYK image
so that they are in the gamut of an output device.</p>
<p>You can save Hue/Saturation settings in the Adjustments panel
and load them for reuse in other images. For more information, see <a href="WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-767ba.html">Save adjustment settings</a> and <a href="WSA9B5A0B0-746C-4ba8-98E6-2B6D4FDC3B21.html">Reapply adjustment settings</a>.</p>

on a color range “fall off” (<dfn class="term">fall‑off</dfn> is a feathering
or tapering of the adjustments instead of a sharply defined on/off
application of the adjustments).</p>

reduce the range of color, click or drag in the image with the Subtract
From Sample Eyedropper tool&#160;<img src="images/P_SamplerMinus_Lg_N.png" />. While
an eyedropper tool is selected, you can also press Shift to add

range of the color component. Moving a vertical bar from the center
of the adjustment slider and closer to a triangle increases the
color range and decreases the fall‑off. Moving a vertical bar closer

the color range and increases the fall‑off.</p>

falls in the red part of the color bar, the name changes to Red&#160;2.
You can convert up to six of the individual color ranges to varieties
of the same color range (for example, Red through Red&#160;6).</p>
