1. A method, comprising:
- displaying a grayscale rendering of a color image;
receiving input to the displayed grayscale rendering to select an area of the grayscale rendering of the color image;
determining a color characteristic of an area of the color image in response to said receiving said input to the displayed grayscale rendering, wherein the area of the color image corresponds to the selected area of the grayscale rendering;
selecting one or more adjusters from a plurality of adjusters based on the determined color characteristic of the area of the color image, wherein each adjuster in the plurality of adjusters is capable of accepting adjusting input to adjust a corresponding color; and
receiving adjusting input to said selected one or more adjusters, and in response, while displaying the grayscale rendering of the color image;
altering a color balance of the color image based on the adjusting input; and
changing the displayed grayscale rendering of the color image to reflect said altering.

12. A method, comprising:
-
selecting an area of an image in response to receiving input to select the area of the image; determining a color of the selected area of the image in response to said selecting; determining a hue angle for the determined color of the selected area of the image; determining that the hue angle for the determined color lies within a range of hue angles, wherein the range of hue angles includes hue angles for one or more primary colors; and selecting an adjuster for each of the one or more primary colors, wherein each selected adjuster is capable of accepting adjusting input to adjust its corresponding primary color. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
