A Better Saturation
If you need a more robust satura-
tion control, be sure to try out the

own saturation control that uses a
different method to control satura-
tion. It tends to produce better
changes, but doesn't offer Hue or
Lightness controls.

of an object by making a global adjustment. This works well when
you are experimenting with different color combinations. Let's try
it out.
