Hhello and welcome to sketch together, my name is Pablo Stanley and this is part
of a series on Photoshop tricks for UI designers that use other tools like Sketch
or Figma or Adobe XD as their main design tool but still need to use
Photoshop for some quick image adjustments. On this video we're going to
learn how to change a specific color on an image using Color Range Select.
Sometimes you want to change a specific color in a photo and to do so
you can use
a tool called Color Range Selection. Over here on the select menu
you're going to see a tool that is called color range so just click here on
this option and then here you are going to be able to select a specific color of
your photo. You can go here and select all of the reds, all of the yellows, all
of the greens, and so on. You can even go and select skin tones. You can also
go over here and say “sample colors.” By selecting sample colors you
can start sampling colors that you want to select from your photo. Here with the
eyedropper I can just start clicking on the image just like this. Then see
how here it's giving me a preview of how this selection is going to look. If I
play around with the fuzziness, see how it starts selecting a little bit more.
My selection starts getting a little bit bigger. What I want to do
is go over here to my eyedropper and select “add to sample.” The one that
has a “plus’ sign. And it start clicking on the rest of the image that way I'm
adding more colors to my selection see how I'm going to here close to the edges
that way I select all these colors that are part of the background its sampling
all these colors I'm just clicking clicking clicking clicking and this
works great because it's a flat background it's a flat color so all I'm
doing is just selecting the different chase of this same hue of the same color
I'm seeing that I'm apparently selecting some of the skin I'm getting some
particles here and over here but it's okay we're going to get rid of those in
a moment so I'm over here I can play around with the fuzziness see probably
that's too much around there around there it's okay I'm going to get rid of
these later so press okay and now that I have this selection I can go ahead here
on my adjustment layers and I'm going to select hue/saturation and it created a
new hue/saturation adjustment layer with the selection that I had but selected so
here now that I have this I can play around with the hue and see I can change
the color of the background but if you see I'm also changing part of the scheme
because the selection is being part of the skin so what I can do is go here or
my selection all my layers list and press Alt alt option and just click here
and I can see only the selection as black and white and I can start painting
over the parts that I don't want to be part of the selection so I'm going to
press B for my brush tool over here brush tool and then I'm going to start
painting black all these parts where I don't want the my selection to be so I'm
just going to start painting with a soft brush just like that oops probably that
was too much just around there around here too
all this stuff I don't want this to be part of my selection so I'm going to get
rid of this there you go that's around it you can go ahead and just like play
around with this a little bit more until you get it right so now I click over
here and see now it got rid of that selection so it's not affecting the
color here all my adjustment layer so I'm good some out a little bit more and
as you can see now this is pretty dope I can just start changing the color until
the child color that I want also here in the hue/saturation I can press some
colorize in that way I can just it's one single color and one single hue that is
just being applied to my selection and I can play around with the saturation I
can say let's turn it red or turn it Orange
whatever I can just play around with that now if
I want to just select also change the color of this Rose what I can do is
create a new selection layer I'm going to turn this off I'm going to select
this photo again I'm going to go to select color range and I'm going to
start doing the same but now with the colors here of this flower so I'm going
to press the plus on the eyedropper what to start selecting all the different
colors that are here around there and to turn up the fuzziness
it looks like it's also grabbing some of the colors here because these are also
like reddish colors so just just select all these
once I'm ready I select I say okay and then I create a new adjustment layer of
hue/saturation there you go and I'm going to change the Q as you can see
it's changing some of the colors here so what I can do is just press alt here on
my selection and I can just see my selection that I have so I can start
painting on the stuff that I don't want so I'm going to paint all of this stuff
all of this stuff shouldn't be affected my selection all this stuff there you go
it you can go as deep as detail as you want
but for this demonstration I'm just going to keep it like that
I'm just going to go back to my adjustment layer as you can see now I'm
changing only the flower apparently there's some stuff that I'm missing like
here so I can go back here and now instead of black I want to paint white
so I'm going to go here and I want all of this to be part of my part of my
selection so I can go ahead just paint all this stuff wait to make my brush a
little bit smaller all of this should be affected by my adjustment layer so I'm
going to paint all this there you go just like that go back here and I can
see that all this is being affected my can have a pretty cool on a purplish
a flower and I can turn on the other one there you go
so I'm going to group these just to see it before and after this is the before
and this is the after look at that pretty cool stuff right so this could
help you but I don't know any photo that you have and probably you want to adjust
the branding color of the church you want to adjust as an element in the
photo to match a branding color of whatever website that you're working on
you can do so with the color range tool on the select menu that's it hopefully
did you find this useful and thank you so much alright
