You may also find that you’ve selected parts of the photo you didn’t want to select. There
are two ways to help solve this problem. You can adjust the extent of the color selection
by adjusting fade and tolerance values, and/or you can use a region or mask to limit the
area of the photo to which the color selection is applied. See sections below.

Note that enhance photo colors mode is turned off automatically when you leave the
Photo Tool or switch to another document.

Applying Enhance

Now choose any of the Enhance functions to alter the selection.

• Brightness
• Contrast
• Photo saturation
• Photo temperature
• Hue
• Sharpness
• Brightness levels

Or else to make the color selection transparent use the option on the right-click context
menu.

Even after you’ve started to enhance your color selection, you can still go back and
modify the selection as described above, by moving points, adding more points, etc.
