sents the color wheel, to change the overall hue. The underlined value displayed above the dial reflects the number

a negative value indicates counterclockwise rotation. Values range from –180 to +180.
Master Saturation, Master Lightness Specify the overall saturation and lightness of the channel chosen in the
Channel Control menu. Values range from –100 to +100.
Colorize Adds color to a grayscale image converted to RGB, or adds color to an RGB image—for example, to make
it look like a duotone image by reducing its color values to one hue.
Colorize Hue, Colorize Saturation, Colorize Lightness Specify the hue, saturation, and lightness of the color range
you chose in the Channel Control menu. After Effects displays only the sliders for the Channel Control menu choice.
