as you drag. If the harmony is unlinked, only the marker that you drag moves.
While editing, you can do any of the following:

To change hue, move the marker around the wheel. To change saturation or brightness, move it inward and
outward on the wheel.
•
To constrain the marker to move in only one direction, hold down the shift key as you drag.

Wheel button

To change the color values manually, click the color marker for the color you want to change, or click the color in
the color group in the Active Colors box at the top of the dialog box. Edit the color values using the sliders or color
value text boxes under the color wheel.
•
To change the saturation and brightness of a color on the wheel, right-click a color marker, and then click on the
desired color in the saturation and brightness box that appears.
