Color Range
As an intelligent color selection method, i.e. where selection is based on
"tagging" a specific range of colors or tones in the image, choose Color Range
from the Select menu.
To select a color range:
1. Choose Color Range... from the Select menu. The Color Range dialog
appears, with the image visible in the main Preview window.
2. To make an initial selection:
To tag a particular color or tone group, such as "Reds" or "Midtones,"
choose the group’s name from the Select drop-down list.
OR
Click Color Picker to sample a chosen pixel color under the
visible dropper cursor. With this method, the Tolerance slider lets you
include a wider or narrower range of colors in the selection, based on
the chosen color.
Once you’ve made an initial selection, you can use the Add Color
and Subtract Color buttons to include/exclude further colors in the selection by
single-click or by dragging across the image to tag/untag a color range.
Alternatively, for initial selection, drag across the image to select ranges.
