Hue and Saturation

Original

Hue

The purpose of this work was to use RGB colors to change the hue of the cheetah. Here I decreased the hue to 89. This made my cheetah more green. The lower the number, the darker the hue. "it takes a combination of two or more RGB hues to create lighter tones." I change  the color of the hue, a few different times. I am now really satisfied with the light shade of green I chose.

Saturation

         
The purpose of this work was to show how a picture's color can be altered by increasing or decreasing an images hue and saturation, which is the purity of a hue. "A hue that is in its most intense, literal form, is considered fully saturated. A hue that is mixed with its complement, black, grey or a neutral tone becomes muted, less saturated." To change the hue (color) I increased the hue to 94. This photo is less saturated because it is mixed with black and grey. It took me a couple attempts to chose which number of saturation to change my picture to. I am now pleased with the coloring of my picture.
