Hue makes one preview for each of the
three primary colors and the three complementary colors of the
RGB color model. By clicking successively on a color, you add

Advanced options of the “Filterpack” filter
These advanced options let you work more precisely on the
changes applied to the image and on the preview size.
Preview Size
Something like a zoom on previews. Normal size is 80.
Tip
In spite of Preview Size option, this size is often too
small. You can compensate this by working on an enlarged
selection, for instance a face on a photo. Then, you
invert selection to work on the other part of the image.

Smoothness of Aliasing
This option should be called “Importance of changes
”. Here, “aliasing” does not mean as
usually in GIMP: It refers to evolution steps when you
click on previews to increase or reduce the action of the
filter.
The curve in this window represents the importance of the
changes applied to the image. The aspect of this curve
depends on the Affected range you have selected: Shadows,
Midtons or Highlights. You can set the curve amplitude by
using the Roughness slider in the
main window of the filter.
By using the available sliders, you can set precisely set
the form of this action curve.
