Okay, so on this tutorial I am actually not going to be talking to much on color inverse, but I am going to be talking about the "gamut warning". It kind of works with what we just did here with the saturation. So the Gamut warning is up here on your "view" and you can see it right down here "Gamut warning" and my battery is going to die, okay hit "View: and hit "Gamut warning" as you can see. It is Shift, Command "Y" or Shift, Control "Y" on PC, so hit Gamut warning, as you can see all this gray stuff kind of just popped up as you can see right there. Now what this is, it is warning you that stuff is over saturated in your image and the print quality is not going to be as great as you want it to be. So this is kind of a neat way to help you out with your prints and make them look a whole bunch better. Sometimes people over saturate it and when your print back it looks kind of funny. So what we are going to do is I am actually going to teach you how to get rid of stuff that is over saturated and with Photo Shop it helps you retain good quality. So, basically on this tutorial, I just wanted to show you what the "Gamut warning" does and it is going to bring up this grayish look here and I am going to show you how to get rid of that here in just a second."
