Now hue and saturation has been around for years, and it can do some pretty fancy things. Now with that said, you just need to be careful when you using it as I’m about to show you.

So hue and saturation is located under Layers, under New Adjustment Layer, and it’s about halfway down. So I’m just going add that as a new layer. And the first thing you’ll notice, as with all of the adjustments in Photoshop CS5 is that you have a set of presets that you can utilize by basically clicking on this little icon and displaying a drop-down menu. And as you can see here you have a variety of different options from increasing the saturation to different types of effects from sienna-types to sepia images, so you have some degree of creative license by utilizing the presets in hue and saturation.

Now for most of the time you’re probably going to use your own custom settings, though. So in this case we’ll just go back to default so it zeroes everything off. And what you’ll see is that you have a series of different sliders.

Now these are very similar to the sliders in hue, saturation, and luminance in Camera Raw. You have hue slider which basically determines the hue or the color of what you’re actually adjusting, so in this case if I wanted to change the color of the entire image, I can basically adjust the hue and that will start to change the hue of all the colors in the image as you can see there. So you can some really psychedelic colors.

Now along with that we have saturation settings which are pretty self-evident where you can either decrease the saturation and end up with a black or white image or you can increase the saturation and really get some vivid colors. And finally you have the lightness slider. Now the lightness slider simply lightens off the colors and it can be useful on some occasions, but most of the time I don’t generally use the lightness slider. But have a play around with it and see what you personally prefer.
