How to use the Color Panel
- Click on the Color Panel Button
or click on the "Colors" tab located at the right of your screen:
- Adjusting the hairstyle color: If the hairstyle is over the photo you can adjust the hairstyle color (Red, Green and Blue) and apply Contrast, Saturation, Lightness and Sharpness. To do that just use the sliders. Also you can mix a color with the person's original hair color. This feature is called Color Mix.
How to apply the color mix.

Within each area there is a small square (on the left side of the box) and a small rectangle (on the right side of the box). Move your mouse pointer to either of these rectangles, then click and hold the left mouse button while dragging these rectangles to other color areas. Choose whatever colors you wish and observe the results:
