Gain insights into the diverse aspects of color correction in digital designs, specifically focusing on Hue versus Saturation and Hue versus Hue. Learn how to enhance the vibrancy of your design, modify color values and select color ranges effectively.
Key Insights
- In the realm of digital design, 'Hue' refers to color, while 'Saturation' refers to the degree of vibrancy of the chosen color.
- 'Hue versus Saturation' is a method to increase or decrease the saturation, effectively altering the range from the most vibrant color to a complete grey tone.
- Over time, saturation of color can fade, similar to a t-shirt washed repeatedly over many years.
- 'Hue versus Hue' involves changing a color into a different color, thus offering flexibility and variety in design.
- For 'Hue versus Hue', one can select the desired color using an eyedropper tool and adjust it according to the design needs.
- The 'Hue versus Saturation' process can be used to boost color saturation, making it super bright, or reduce it to a grey tone.
Secondary Color Workflow
-
Apply Lumetri Color
Effects panel → Lumetri Color, drop on the clip.
-
Open HSL Secondary
Isolate a color range — eyedrop the area you want to adjust.
-
Refine the Mask
Use Refine Mask sliders to tighten the selection edges.
-
Push the Correction
Adjust hue, saturation, brightness on just that isolated range.

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.
