“Hue vs. Sat” and “Hue vs. Hue”.
In this lesson, we will learn how to change one color to another color and also how to adjust the Saturation of a color. We will do this by using Hue Saturation Curves.

Hi, this is Margaret from Noble Desktop. Today we're going to look at Hue versus Saturation and Hue versus Hue in our workspace. We have several different categories, and we briefly looked at the basic correction and also Curves RGB Curves.
I'd like to now just visit the Hue versus Saturation. Hue is another word for color, so I'm increasing or decreasing the saturation of a color. You could think of saturation as being the range from the most vibrant color to a complete grey tone completely stripped of color. You can think of it as a t-shirt that's been washed a thousand times; when you first get it, it's vibrant, but after you've washed it for 10 years, it's lost a lot of its saturation.
Then I'll also look at Hue versus Hue, and that's actually changing the color of a color—you're changing a color into a different color. Let's start with Hue versus Hue since I'm in front of a clip that will benefit from that quite a bit. Let's say that this red is not in keeping with the red for my project; maybe they were in a different scene and this isn't part of my design; I don't like this red.
So what I would do is I would take my eyedropper in Hue versus Hue and choose that color and try to get it—not the Shadow or the Highlight, but kind of a middle-of-the-range tone. You're then given three dots; the middle dot is the actual color that I just selected and the dots on either end are the range of that color. So this is a vertical color wheel. If I move up, you can see what's happening—it's going through that color spectrum. If I move down, it's going through the other color spectrum.
If you want to delete these, you double-click in the black space and you've removed them. Now let's look at Hue versus Saturation. I'm going to increase the saturation of this. Now I'm going to boost this up—you can see what's happening; super bright. If I take it away, it turns into a grey tone.
I hope you enjoyed this lesson on Hue versus Saturation and Hue versus Hue. This has been Margaret with Noble Desktop.
