To use the Sponge tool:
- Select the Sponge tool
. - Choose a brush tip and set brush options in the options bar (see Working with brushes).
- In the options bar, select the way you want to change the color.
- Saturate to intensify the color's saturation
- Desaturate to dilute the color's saturation
- Specify the flow for the Sponge tool. (See Specifying opacity, flow, strength, or exposure.)
- Drag over the part of the image you want to modify.
