Selective Color

The Selective Color adjustment lets you pick one of the 8 available color ranges (reds, oranges, yellows, greens, cyans, blues, violets, and magentas) and adjust the hue, saturation, and brightness of that particular color range, leaving other colors in an image untouched.

The Selective Color adjustment also offers a color histogram that shows just how much of that particular color there is in an image.

You can adjust Selective Color manually, or automatically using the machine learning-powered ML Enhance.
