Color Balance Filter

DesignCentral shows slider bars (Cyan-Red, Magenta-Green and Yellow-Blue) for adding or subtracting color from an image. (For example, if you drag the Cyan-Red slider to the Cyan side, the amount of Cyan in your image is increased and the amount of Red is decreased.)

     • Click on the slider line.
     • Click and drag the sliders.
