justing contrast and making changes to color
balance that effect only a specific portion of
the tone range (shadows, mid-tones, or high-
lights).

ments to brightness, contrast, and color balance
that affect the entire image.

Like the Curves tool, the LCH editor can be used
to adjust brightness and contrast in shadows,
mid-tones, and highlights.

hue and chroma editors, which provide ex-
tremely flexible tools for adjusting color.
