This is an Illustrator Trick, Can it be done in PS

[JustWakinUp]

Hi everyone.

In adobe illustrator in the colors palette there
is a trick that can be used to keep a balance of
the particular color you are using while changing
the saturation or the tone itself. By holding down
shift while dragging one of the color sliders you
will notice that the other sliders are constrained
to that color shift as you drag.
My question is, is there some sort of way in Photoshop
that this can be done as well? If your not sure
exactly what im talking about open up a new document
in illustrator select a color (any color will do)
now goto the color palette hold down shift then select
the Y slider ( in a cmyk color mode) and slide it back
and forth and take notice of what happens and how useful
it is. But then please tell me how I can do that in Photoshop...

THANKS ! !

I'm not sure if this is the same thing, but go to the colour picker and experiment with the radio buttons beside H, S, and B. This will allow you to drag the slider bar to adjust any of these values. You can see which does what by the changes to the slider. Does that help???

That is always a good step to use but i was actually
trying to find the work around for that method. I was
hoping it was as easy as it is in Illustrator but I'm
quikly finding that it just cant be done like it is done
in AI.

Another way (but still not as quick as your shortcut) is to use the HSB display in the colour mixer palette instead of the default RGB - gives you access to the same process as in the colour picker but a bit quicker. (although you sound like your in a hurry!
