Adobe Premier Elements gives you the control to adjust hue, contrast and brightness for each video clip in your movie. You can lighten a dark scene or increase the overall color of a scene. You will see your scenes previewed in the monitor as you make the changes. You can make these changes as you edit the movie or at the end when you added special effects and the soundtrack.

Step 2
We want to change the saturation of this picture. However, before we do we will increase the BRIGHTNESS by 10. This will enable us to increase the saturation without adversely affecting the shadow areas.
-
Step 3
Notice, we have entered 10 into the brightness tab and the image has become noticeably brighter. The colors now also appear to be under saturated allowing us to adjust the saturation.
-
Step 4
Enter 70 in to the saturation box. The image is now properly saturated and the blue sky appears to be brighter and more pleasant than in the original. These are fine tuning adjustments.

Step 5
You can also make artistic adjustments. By adding 120 into the HUE adjustment we can create an alien landscape and a unique special effect.
