Step Four:
If you think the colors look too dark, then all you have to do is click on the Luminance tab
(it controls how bright the colors appear), click on a dark area of yellow, and drag upward
(asshownhere,whereIclicked ontheyellowbuildingontheleft),andnowthecolorsarea
little brighter (compare it with what you see in Step Three). If your colors were too bright,
you'd drag downward. So, that's how it works for tweaking Saturation and Luminance.
However, if you want to actually change a color (and not just tweak the existing color),
then click on the Hue tab. The controls are the same: click your TAT on the orange building
and drag downward to change the color (as Idid here in the inset). Again, youcould always
drag the sliders around, and eventually you'd find out which slider controls which part of
the image, but I think you can see why Adobe invented the TAT—to make our lives in this
panel easier.
