    "Now, let's go ahead and finish up with our lava planet. As we can see here, it's not looking much like a lava planet; it's almost looking more like a moon. So we need to give this thing some color. So let's go ahead, and hit command B for our color balance. There we are. Let's go to shadows first; we'll start going just left to right. We'll go one hundred, tab zero, tab one hundred, and as you can see, oop not one hundred there, let's do negative one hundred. As you can see, we're all red and all yellow here, so we're going to do the same thing here, and actually, we can just grab the sliders and do it this way. This time all red, all yellow again, and in our highlights, we're going to actually give this just a little bit less. Let's bring this up around, say we take it up to around seventyish. There we go, and let's bring this down a little bit more towards the yellow side. Not too much, because if we do it too much it's just not so well actually, it doesn't even really matter. It doesn't look like it's going to be as much of a color change here. Let's do around twenty. Twenty looks good. Hit ok, there we go. Now it's starting to starting to pop on us now, so let's you know if you want to, you can always hit command U, and you can actually change the color of your planet if you don't like it that color. You can skip it around, and adjust it a little bit, and I'm going to take mine down just a little bit more in the oranges area. Saturation, let's bring it up some; I'm bringing it up too high. Actually, it doesn't look like it's doing too bad at too high. And a lightness; let's put our lightness back at zero, I like it there. There we go, now it's starting to come out. Let's we're going to save it here, and let's we're going to move on to the next part."
