Replace color in Photoshop
Replacing colors in Photoshop is not that difficult. We present two methods here - a simple solution for clearly defined areas and a more complicated one for color gradients.
Instructions: Replace color in Photoshop
If you want to edit the color of a clearly delineated object like a car, Photoshop home remedies are sufficient:
- In the top Photoshop bar, click Image> Corrections> Replace Color.
- A menu opens in which you select the pipette. Then click on the area of the image with the color you want to change.
- You can now move the "Hue" slider and thus replace the selected color with another.
Replace colors with Photoshop: alternative for more complex photos
The less "flat" the colors in your photo are, the more unsatisfactory is the solution described above. Therefore here is an alternative for somewhat "more complicated" cases, in which the color groups are not so clearly distinguished from each other.
- To do this, first select the selection tool with [M]. Select the area in which the object to be colored is located.
- Next, go back to the "Replace color" menu as described above. However, only the selected area is now in the function's dialog window.
- So that only the color of the object is replaced, you must set the tolerance to 50.
- Now use the Pipette Plus to select the area to be replaced until the entire area has been entered in the dialog window. You can remove the tick from "Localized color groups".
- Once this is done, you can use the color controls to change the color of the selected area again as you wish.
