# Hue shift operator

**Color Correction/Hue Shift**

The Hue Shift operator is a powerful tool used to transform colors. Either by changing the hue, the saturation, or the luminance.

The operator features a color range selector, which selects which colors to process.

Below is an example where Hue Shift operators have been applied on the red.
