The Color tool in Aperty allows you to fine-tune the overall color intensity of your portrait and correct any unwanted color tones. It offers precise adjustments through the Vibrance, Saturation, and Remove Color Cast sliders and a detailed HSL (Hue, Saturation, Luminance) section that lets you control individual color ranges.
Vibrance: Increases the intensity of less saturated colors while protecting skin tones and already vivid colors from becoming oversaturated. This is particularly useful for enhancing colors in a portrait without making the skin look unnatural.
Saturation: Adjusts the overall intensity of all colors in the portrait. Increasing Saturation makes the colors more vivid while decreasing it mutes the entire image. Use this slider carefully in portrait editing to avoid making skin tones too intense or unnatural.
Remove Color Cast: Corrects unwanted color shifts caused by lighting conditions, such as the image's yellowish or bluish tint. This feature helps ensure that skin tones appear natural and true to life.
HSL Section (Hue, Saturation, Luminance) This section provides individual control over specific color ranges in the portrait. For more targeted adjustments, you can fine-tune each color’s appearance using Hue, Saturation, and Luminance controls.
Hue Shift: Alters the actual color tone of specific hues. For instance, adjusting the red hue will shift reds toward orange or purple, allowing you to modify how colors appear without changing their intensity.
Dropdown menu options: This dropdown allows you to select which color range (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple, Magenta) you want to modify and offers control over:
Hue: Changes the actual color tone within the selected range. For example, adjusting Red will shift it more toward orange or purple.
Saturation: Adjusts the intensity of the selected color. Increasing Saturation makes the color more vivid while decreasing it mutes the color.
Luminance: Controls the brightness of the selected color. Increasing Luminance brightens the color while decreasing it makes the color appear darker.
Color Ranges:
Red: Adjusts red tones often found in lips, blush, or warm skin tones.
Orange: Primarily affects skin tones and can be used to fine-tune the warmth of the portrait.
Yellow: Often controls highlights on the skin and in the hair.
Green: Typically affects clothing, foliage, or other background elements.
Cyan: Adjusts cooler tones found in the background or certain accessories.
Blue: Controls blue elements, like the sky or clothing.
Purple: Affects makeup or accents found in clothing or accessories.
Magenta: Alters magenta tones, which may be found in certain makeup or accessories.
