Saturation

This command enables you to change the saturation of an image. The saturation process intensifies the colors while desaturation removes a part of the color information (the colors become dim and gray.)

The system asks you to indicate an image to be modified. After you confirm your choice of image, ARC+ opens a dialog box that helps you control and view the modification:

$image\ebx_311321357.gif$

This dialog box contains two "Before-After" windows for a dynamic preview of the modification.

The $image\ebx_2025542677.gif$ button enables you to view the entire image; the $image\ebx_-896310760.gif$ button enables you to view a detail of the image in actual pixel size.

The Factor potentiometer enables you to increase or decrease the saturation of the image. The default value is zero (at the center of the potentiometer). Move the cursor to the left (0 to -1000) to desaturate the image or to the right (0 to 1000) to saturate it.

You can also enter a value (-1000 to 1000) in the numerical range located to the left of the potentiometer.

Click Ok to modify the image or click Cancel to cancel the modification and exit the dialog box.

Before applying the modification, the system asks you to indicate a modification setting: apply the change only to the selected image (frame) or to the indicated image (frame) and all its copies.
