problems such as unnatural-looking skin tones. You can use the

Vibrancy control to target only those areas that are low on saturation

without affecting the rest of the image. For example, you can boost

color in less saturated parts of an image without significantly altering

skin tone.

Corel PaintShop Pro gives you four ways to alter the hue and saturation

of a selection or of an entire image:

• You can replace all colors with a single color and saturation while

leaving the lightness values unchanged. You can create sepia

tones, like the brownish tones seen in old photographs, and other

single-color effects.

• You can shift all colors and change their strength and lightness.

Changing the hue shifts all pixels in an image to a different point

on the color wheel. For example, if you change the red pixels to

green, the green pixels turn to blue, and the yellow pixels turn to

cyan. Adjusting the saturation changes the amount of gray in a

color. (The level of gray increases as the saturation decreases.)

Adjusting the lightness changes color brightness.

• You can replace one or more colors. For example, you can shift all

greens to blues. You can also change the saturation or the

lightness. When you adjust these values, all colors (both original

and shifted colors) are adjusted.

• You can adjust only the least saturated colors in the image using

the Vibrancy control and thus leave unaltered those pixels that are

already relatively saturated. The result is that you will get a general

improvement in the saturation in the colors of an image but not

to the extent where colors become unrealistically bright. The

Vibrancy control is recommended for adding saturation to

portraits as it offers some protection for skin tones and is less likely

to oversaturate and destroy the subject’s skin color.
