After creating a piece of work, you might find that your creation requires an entire shift in tone. Avoid complicated colour theory and the laborious process of editing each colour by giving the software a few simple cues and letting it do the rest.

The Generative Recolor tool allows you to pick our exactly the hues you need to transform your project and it's really easy to do. This allows you to experiment with different colour schemes without sucking up loads of time, which might be especially useful for concept ideas you're creating for clients.
