| Solid red is 255 on the Red, Green and Blue scale and the green and blue values are 0. If you add values of 255 green and 255 blue to the red value, you will end up with white. If you add white to red, the result will be pink. |
| To find out the color values of an object, select ”Choose Color” from the Edit menu. Simply activate the color selector tool and click in the area containing the color in question. Now move the color lever to find the setting of the color you like. In our case, we see that adding red would not help because the object already has the maximum value of red (255). We can see from the ”Choose Color” dialogue that the object contacts too much green and blue. |
| For our solution, we will apply the ”Color Balance” tool and since we are only correcting the red value, we will select red. We will also reduce green and blue, as well as reduce the brightness of red. |
