Colour Tools
                 The colour tools are used to control image colours in several ways.


































                 Color Menu provides a variety of options for modifying an image’s colour settings. Let us explore
                 these options:

                 Ð ÐColor Balance: By modifying the levels of cyan, magenta, and yellow as well as the ranges of
                   red, green, and blue, it alters and maintains the colour balance of the current image.




                                  Ð Ð Color Temperature: It can be used to fix the red cast in pictures shot in
                                     incandescent light with the camera set to daylight, or even the bluish cast
                                     in photos taken in gloomy conditions.




                 Ð Ð Hue-Chroma: Hue-Chroma can be adjusted, and light saturation can be used to increase the
                   number of colour pixels in an image.






                                  Ð ÐColorize Tool: The active layer or selection becomes a greyscale image seen through coloured
                                     glass when using the Colorize tool.







                 Ð ÐThreshold: The image is converted to black and white using the threshold effect.
