5.To adjust the color saturation in the target image, adjust the Color Intensity slider. Alternatively, enter a value in the Color Intensity box. The maximum value is 200, the minimum is 1 (which produces a grayscale image), and the default is 100.
6.To control the amount of adjustment applied to the image, move the Fade slider. Moving the slider to the right reduces the adjustment.
7.Then Click OK.
