Color range control

The mechanism of defining the specific boundaries of color modification within a digital image. This involves limiting or expanding the scope of adjustments to specific hues, saturations, or luminance levels to prevent unintended color shifts in adjacent pixels.

Core Mechanisms

• point-color: Targeted adjustment via specific color sampling.
• color-mixer: Broad-spectrum adjustments using hue, Saturation, and Luminance parameters.
• Variance: A tool for regulating the breadth of influence for a specific color sample.

Recent Developments

• Adobe Camera Raw: Variance Slider (2026-04-14)
  • Located within the point-color section of the color-mixer.
  • Allows users to control the range of colors affected by a point-color adjustment after sampling a specific color in an image.
