Color Variations works best for average tone images that don't require precise color adjustments. Note: You can't use the Color Variations command with images in Indexed Color mode. Comparing color adjustments in the Color Variations dialog box 1 In the Editor, choose Enhance > Adjust Color > Color Variations. The two preview images show the original image (Before) and the adjusted image after you've made changes. 2 Select an option to choose what you want to adjust in the image: Shadows, Midtones, or Highlights Specify which part of the tonal range to adjust: dark, middle, or light areas. Saturation Makes the image colors more vivid (more saturation) or muted (less saturation). 3 Set the amount, or intensity, of each adjustment using the Adjust Color slider. Dragging the slider to the left decreases the amount, and dragging to the right increases it.
