Hue Grid

The Hue Grid is one of the two main controls in Nobe Color Remap. It lets you remap hue and saturation for any point on the color wheel.

Grid Modes

The Hue Grid can run in two modes:

  • Circular

  • Rectangular

Each mode has different strengths depending on the result you want.

Control points are connected with dashed lines. Moving a point remaps the original color at that location to the new one.

Light gray points show default positions. Solid and dashed lines between default and current positions visualize the remap amount per point.

You can preview remapping under the mouse cursor in the grid (black arrow from a red origin point).

Grid Operations

To manage many points at once, click and drag in an empty grid area to create a selection rectangle:

Selection modifiers:

  • Hold Shift to add points to selection.

  • Hold Alt + Shift to remove points from selection.

Selected points are shown in red.

Pinned Points

Any modified point becomes a Pinned Point. Its position is locked and is no longer auto-adjusted by neighboring points.

Unpinned points are interpolated from nearby pinned points. Pinned points are shown in green.

Reset a pinned point by:

  • Alt + Click on that point, or

  • Selecting it and using Reset selected point from the context menu

Switching Grid Mode

Use the highlighted icon to switch between Circular and Rectangular layouts:

After clicking, a modal appears. You can keep current changes or switch to a fresh default grid.

Because the layouts have different point topologies, conversion is approximate (not a 1:1 transfer).

Grid Context Menu

Use the top-right hamburger icon to open grid actions:

Available actions:

  • Reset Grid: reset all points and pinned state

  • Reset selected point: reset selected point(s) only

  • Select All: select all points

  • Select None: clear selection

  • Invert Selection: invert selection

  • Pin All Points: pin all points

  • Smooth: open smoothing operation controls

  • Saturate: apply proportional saturation change (selected/pinned/all)

  • Rotate: rotate the grid (selected/pinned/all)

  • Contrast: available only in the Luma grid

Hue Remap Examples

Example 1: Green to Yellow

Drag two points from the green zone toward yellow to shift tree hues:

Example 2: Blue Sky Toward Cyan

Drag pinned outer blue points downward to shift hue toward cyan. Then move two middle points outward to slightly increase saturation:

Example 3: Red Toward Orange with Lower Saturation

Drag the red hue region downward toward orange and move an outer point toward the center to reduce saturation:
