11. Adjust the hue and saturation of the portrait of the man

 When you adjust the contrast using the tone curve, excessive emphasis may be added to the tint colors. In the image of the man, emphasis was added to the red tint of the skin, and blue and magenta in the white portions of the cap. Pinpoint and fix the extraneous elements using the slider to adjust the saturation in the channels of [Hue and Saturation].
11-1 Adjust hue and saturation using the adjustment layer
 Load the selected area of the portrait of the man, and make adjustments using the adjustment layer of [Hue and Saturation].
 Make sure the extraneous tint colors in the channels of [Hue and Saturation].
 First, we will adjust the red tint of the skin. Move the [Saturation] adjustment slider in the middle of the screen over to the negative direction, while watching what effects they have on the screen. For references, the saturation level is set to -25 to keep a touch of a red tint. Lowering the saturation too much makes the image gray without any tint, so be careful to what level you set it. The parameters set in the figure are for reference only, and you can set any parameter you want.
 Next, we will adjust the channels of blue and magenta, which are not needed for the white potions of the cap. Move the [Saturation] adjustment slider in the blue channel over to the negative direction, and set it to -60 to remove the dull color of the white portions of the cap.
 Similarly, move the [Saturation] adjustment slider over to the negative direction, and set it to -30, while seeing the effects they have on the white portions of the cap.
 The extraneous tint colors are fixed.
TIPS
 If you have set a tint color of the clothes or other items that you do not want to set, along with the tint color that you want to correct, you can restore the original tint color later. To do so, please see "10-2 Nullify some previously applied tone curve corrections."
