# Performing Hue Shifts

You can use the Hue field in the Basics menu to perform hue shifts on the entire image or a range in the image defined by a selective's matte. Perform hue shifts when you want to change the colour of an object or create other artistic effects. Hue shifts do not affect the luma.

You can also perform hue shifts when you want to suppress colour spill. See Removing Colour Spill.

To perform a hue shift:

1. If necessary, create a matte for the range of colour you want to change. See Selecting Colour Ranges for Colour Correction.
2. Click Basics to display the Basics menu.

   If you are using a selective, the Selective View box should display Result when you display the Basics menu.

3. Sample the image to see the hue shift in the 2D luma vectorscope. Enable Plot and then sample the colour range in the image you want to hue shift.

   A red line also appears in the 2D luma histogram and the sample is outlined in the 2D or 3D vectorscope.

4. Drag the Hue field while monitoring the 2D or 3D vectorscope and the image.

   The selected colour content (or entire image) shifts through the colour range.

5. If necessary, you can change the saturation of the hue by dragging the Saturation field—drag right to increase saturation or left to decrease it.

   The selected colour range moves towards the perimeter or centre of the 2D luma histogram.
