13 Adjusting the colours

Once I’m done with my rendering and have refined certain details, the fun begins. The Curve tool is ideal for helping to make certain colours look right or for capturing the mood you’re going for in your work. I want to accentuate the reds in the piece, so I move the wavelengths, and then add another Curve tool to further play with the wavelengths using blues and more reds. Then I lower the Opacity and Fill to 34 per cent. This stage is about personal preference and finding out what’s good enough – and what’s a little too much.
