  • Why dont you use Hue/Saturation while in Lab mode? Seems to have the same effect...

  • @glenbruce

    Thanks for your comment. Their are many reasons why you should use curves rather than hue/saturation. First off, curves is a relative adjustment while hue/saturation is absolute. Meaning all the colors in H/S will fallow a linear path in their saturation. Curves are relative and does not follow a linear progression.

    Secondly, these two color modifiers work in complete opposite ways. H/S floods the image with more "color info" while curves compresses the existing range.

  • @glenbruce I may post a video showing the difference.
