[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Photoshop has had "Variations" in the image adjustments menu when it comes to color corrections and contrast and density for decades and I'd hit that button often; But less and less as once you've learned the difference between red and magenta and cyan and blue and how to get rid of those casts its easier just to hit command option B and make the correction. You've learned to recognize a color cast. And yes having variations laid out in front of you all at once helps teach you. Once in a blue moon I get a case of the stupids and hit that variations button again.
