Here creating a hue shift shows that most of the image falls somewhere within the Yellows range.īegin by restricting the Yellows color range significantly, use the Eyedropper to select the color in the image that you plan to alter, then move the Hue slider far to the left or right to force the preview to display the selection in an obvious color. Merely selecting a color range doesn’t necessarily limit the selection enough. By altering the color significantly, what’s selected is obvious. Move the Hue slider far to the left or right to “preview” the selection. The range-limiting bars will probably jump to a new location. Next, use the Eyedropper Tool in the dialog box to click on the desired color in the image. First drag the triangles and the bars very close together, but leave a tiny gap between them. To restrict it even further, use the Color Range bars at the bottom of the dialog box. With Yellows selected, everything within that entire range throughout the image will be affected. Restricting Hue/Sat to one color range often still isn’t enough. With the Targeted Adjustment Tool active, you don’t have to choose a color range-the TAT will select the right color range for you when you click on the color in the image-in this case, green leaves are really yellow. Hue/Sat will automatically select the appropriate color range. Now click on the color in the document that you want to alter. To keep it always active session to session, enable its Auto Select command from the panel menu.
When you open the Hue/Sat dialog box, click on the TAT icon (the pointing hand) if it isn’t already active. With the addition of the Targeted Adjustment Tool (TAT), selecting the range is even easier. If the Color Range bars appear at either end of the spectrum, you can hold down Cmd/Ctrl and drag the Color Range bars into the center (the cursor turns into a hand).
When Blues are really Cyans, Hue/Saturation will switch from Blues to Cyans when you click on the color in the image. If a blue sky is really cyan, the Cyans range becomes active. If it isn’t in the selected color range, Hue/Sat will automatically switch to the right color range. You can guess the color, select that range, pick up the Eyedropper tool in the dialog box, and click on the color in the image. Which color is it?Īfter adding a Hue/Saturation Adjustment layer (using either the controls at the bottom of the Layers panel or the Adjustments panel), the first step to controlling what gets selected is to click on the disclosure triangle next to Master and choose a color range from the list.īut which color do you want to change? If you have leaves in your photo, are they green or yellow? Is the sky blue, or is it really cyan? Fortunately, the Hue/Saturation dialog box makes it very easy to find out. Learning just a few simple, but almost hidden methods for controlling Hue/Saturation makes this tool useful for all users. And so an easy tool becomes laborious to use. But newcomers also quickly learn that Hue/Saturation often affects far more of the image than they would like, at which point they start painting very complex (and often quite unnecessary) masks. For those new to image editing, Photoshop’s Hue/Saturation is easy to grasp one slider changes the color, another slider affects the saturation, and a third makes the color lighter or darker. Almost every image editing program has a basic hue/saturation dialog box with intuitive sliders for basic color correction, including Photoshop.
