Color Shift

The following table shows how colors are shifted using the color shift adjustment.

<RYGCBM<	color	>RYGCBM>
M	R	Y
R	Y	G
Y	G	C
G	C	B
C	B	M
B	M	R

 

This is also shown on the following images. The original test image, shown in the center, is shifted -100 on the left and shifted +100 on the right.

Shifting all the colors at once can be confusing. It is generally best to use the color selectors and shift a few colors at a time as shown in the following example. The images above are actual ColorBender results that took just two slider adjustments, one for each output image.

Selective Color Shift

Sometimes you may want to adjust specific objects in an image, rather than composition regions. By using a combination of region, color and neutral selectors, often objects can be isolated. In the following example, the eyes are isolated by selecting the middle center and middle right regions and the cyan and blue colors.

A number of operations can be applied to the selected objects. In this example, the colors were shifted towards green as shown on the adjustment panel on the left. Next, one would probably want to adjust tone for a more realistic result as shown in these additional examples.
