Adjust > Color Balance > Manual Color Correction on PSP X6?

Post by LindaPSP »

I'm following a tutorial that calls for using Manual Color Correction using the path above. Does PSP X6 have this because I can't find it.

In X6 it's one of the "unused" commands.

So to get it back

View -> Customize

In the commands tab find the "Unused commands" category and in there you'll find the "Manual Color Correction" dialog. Just drag it back into the Adjust menu for easy access.

This worked for me. I was able to move it to the Adjust drop down menu.

Can you give me any information on using it? Nothing comes up in the on-line PaintShop Pro manual for "Manual Color Corrections."

This is taken from the PSP 9 manual.
When it is particularly important to get a certain color right, use the Manual color Correction command. Select a color in the image that needs to be corrected (the source color), and then select the color you want it to be (the target color). For the target color, choose from a preset color option, a specific color, or a color from another image. Paint Shop Pro then adjusts all colors in the selection or image based on the shift from the source color to the target color.

1) In the right preview window, center the area with the source color. Pan the image by clicking and dragging in the preview window; zoom in or out as necessary.

NOTE: You must use the right preview window for panning the image because you select the source color in the left preview window

2) Define the Source color in the left preview window using one of these methods:
a) Click once to select a single pixel, Zoom in to make sure you select the correct color
b) Click and drag to select a rectangular area
c) To select an irregularly shaped area, mark the "Freehand" check box, then click and drag over the image.

To change your selection, click the Clear button or make another selection

Choose an area that is mostly one color. You do not have to be overly precise with the selection area because pixels in the selection are averaged to determine the source color.

When you select the source color, the Source color box displays the selected color.

3) Choose the Target color using one o these methods.

a) To choose from a preset color category, select the "Preset Colors" option, choose a color category from the list, and then choose a color from within the category.

b) To choose from the color dialog, left-click on the Target color box.

c) To choose from recently used colors, right-click on the Target color box.

d) To choose from any open image, move the cursor over the image until it changes into a dropper and then click the color.

When you select the color, the target color box displays the target color

4) If you are using the Preset colors option or have selected a source color from the target color box, choose from the following options:
a) Preserve Lightness - Mark this check box to preserve the lightness of the source color in the corrected image. Clear this check box to match the lightness of the corrected image to the target color's lightness.

b) Preserve Saturation - Mark this check box to preserve the saturation of the source color in the corrected image. Clear this check box to match the saturation of the corrected image ot the target color's saturation.

5) Click OK
