Hi everyone,
I am new to GIMP and would like to use it in future instead of the expensive Adobe PS. One of my important do´s is to alter the saturation of part of an image. I am astrophotographer and as example want/need to increase or decrease the saturation of a nebula or part of it, but not of the entire image. In PS, I choose the respective icon and see three options - darken, lighten and saturation. Inside of those, I can select shadows, midtones or lights for darken/lighten and for saturation increase/decrease.
In GIMP, I have found the options like in PS but only for lighten/darken using a brush not for saturation.
Where is this function hidden? What do I need to look for?
I have attached an image of the NGC224, the Rosetta Nebula as an example of what I do.
Thanks and greetings from Austria,
Georg
