To control the amount of adjustment applied to the image, adjust the Fade slider. Moving the slider to the right
reduces the amount of adjustment.
Note: You can use the Match Color controls separately to apply a single correction to the image. For example, you can
adjust only the Luminance slider to brighten/darken an image without affecting the color. Or you can use the controls in
different combinations, depending on the color correction you’re making.

Replace the color of objects in an image
The Replace Color command lets you create a mask to select specific colors in an image and then replace those colors.
You can set the hue, saturation, and lightness of the selected areas. Or you can use the Color Picker to select the
replacement color. The mask created by the Replace Color command is temporary.

(Optional) If you are selecting multiple color ranges in the image, select Localized Color Clusters to build a more
accurate mask.
