To change some specific colors in an image
Selective Color and Selective Hue let you change some of the colors in an image without affect-
ing other colors.
To learn more about making selective color changes – see page 188.
For general information about working with the color tools – see page 242.
To adjust a limited, self-defined range of colors
1 • Open the Selective Color window
2 • In the feedback window, double-click on the part of the image you want to change. Then
click on Reset in the Selective Color window.
3 • The color you clicked on is indicated on the lightness scale by a white rectangle with a black
rectangle inside it, and on the color wheel by a small white circle with a black circle inside
it. A larger circle shows the range of colors that will be affected.
4 • To change additional colors, close the window and repeat the process.
To adjust all the saturation and lightness variants of a given hue
1 • Open the Selective Hue window.
2 • In the feedback window, double-click on the part of the image you want to change. Then
click on Reset in the Selective Hue window.
• To change the range of colors affected, make the large circle larger or
smaller. Your changes will have the greatest effect at the center of the circle
and proportionally less effect toward its edges.
• To change the hue and/or saturation of the chosen colors, drag the small
black circle to a different position on the color wheel (saturation decreases
as you move towards the center of the color wheel), or click on the desired
new color.
• To change the lightness of the chosen colors, drag the black rectangle to a
different position on the lightness scale, or click on the desired position.
