- The color editor is one of my favorite tools … in this application, it is so much fun. … It is inside, right here, the color tab, … and it's down at the bottom … and just open it up and we're looking at it right now. … It also has 3 tabs, basic, advanced, and skin tone. … We're going to work in basic and skin tone for this portrait. … In basic, I usually do things like adjust … the color of clothing, things like that, … the color of a car, you know, big kind of chunks of color. … This blue right here is a little too bright for me. … I want to tone it down a bit so I'm going to select it. … Go right here and I'll just click right on the blue. … And you see that it is selected and now I can do things like … adjust hue, saturation, lightness and smoothness. … I'm going to take the saturation down just a bit, I'm not too … worried about the hue, it's fine. … And I'm going to make it a little bit lighter. … I just don't want it to be so electric, because it pulls … away from her face, and I want people to look at her face. …
