The Colorize option changes the nature of the Hue/Saturation control. | |
When checked, it removes the color from an image and overlays the image with a tint of a single hue and saturation. | |
Each pixel's luminosity remains unchanged (actually, it is changed, but very little). | |
With the Colorize option, the Hue and Saturation values are no longer relative numbers based on an offset from a starting point. | |
Instead, they are absolute numbers. | |
The Hue value ranges from 0° to 360° and represents an absolute position on the color wheel (0° and 360° are the same color; red) | |
The Saturation value ranges from 0% to 100%. | |
If Saturation is changed to 0%, color will be negated and the pixels will go gray. | |
Using Hue/Saturation to colorize an image is not the same as making a duo tone. |
