To increase yellow in the Color Board, you would drag the Highlights puck toward positive yellow. The Color Board operates using a color model where adjustments to the color components—such as red, green, and blue—are expressed in a range that varies from negative to positive. Moving the puck toward positive yellow directly enhances the yellow hue within the highlights of the image, resulting in a more vibrant appearance in that tonal range. In the context of other adjustments, dragging the puck up toward positive green would influence the green tones rather than yellow, while dragging left toward negative red would decrease red, leading to a cooler, less warm color profile. Similarly, dragging down toward negative orange would reduce the orange tonality, which isn’t effective for increasing yellow. Therefore, adjusting the Highlights puck to positive yellow is the correct action to achieve the desired enhancement.
