Description

Hue is what the color is. For example, it could be red, purple, and orange, etc. The imgHue X-Function allows the user to adjust the hue of an image, by specifying an angle to rotate the color wheel. Note that rotating the color wheel by 180 degree will get the complement color.

Examples

In this example, we use the imgHue function to change the color of the input image:

1. When the input image is active, select Image: Adjustments: Hue. This opens the dialog of the X-Function.
2. In the X-Function dialog, change the settings as the screenshot below and click OK to close the dialog.
   
   A new image is created. We can see that the color of the car has been changed from red to green.
