Color Variations under Enhance tab missing in 2025 version

[orchids00001]

I just upgraded from Photoshop Elements 10 to Photoshop Elements 2025 with the purchase of a new laptop.  The 2025 version does not have the "Color Variations" option under the Adjust Color functions under the Enhance tab.  I used the feature to color correct for lighting etc.  Is this no longer an option and what can I do to add/reduce reds, greens, blues etc. using the 2025 version?

It’s a very old tool withdrawn many versions ago.

I think its more powerful to us an adjustment layer:

Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation > OK

You can use the RGB sliders (Master) or individual channels for red green and blue adjustments.

There is also a one-click color correction tool in the Quick mode under the quick actions panel.
