Playing with Photoshop- Selection & Changing Color

Change the Color of an Object



1) Save the image in your folder.

2) Open the image in Photoshop.

3) Use a Selection Tool to select only the pumpkin. You can use one of two tools...

 The Quick Selection Tool or the Magic Wand tool will let you choose/select part of the image you want to work with.

4) After the pumpkin is selected, we can now change the color. To do so, find the Adjustments tab on the right hand side.

     **If you do not have the Adjustments tab, go to the top of the screen to Window- Adjustments**

5) Click on the Hue/Saturation tool. It's the second tool on the second row.

 

6) Now try messing around with the Hue control on the top. Observe what is happening to the color of the pumpkin. Is it the same or different?


7) When done with the Hue/Saturation tool, you're done! You're pumpkin should now be a different color.

Now, try changing the color of an object in another image! Below are some images for you to try, or you may find your own in Google.

By the end of class, change the color of an object in at least three more images.

In order to make it easier for you to look at the value, here is a photograph in gray scale. The hills appear to fade into the distance and they become lighter as they get farther away. Why do you think they do that? Gray scale photograph This picture clearly shows how objects fade in the distance. The hills in the background appear lighter in value.

Spot Healing Brush Tool

  The Spot Healing Brush Tool is the default "healing"  and can be used to clone areas from an image and blend the pixels from the sampled area seamlessly with the target area. With it, you literally take a spot of some kind (usually a pimple or some type of scar mark) and can heal it, or make it go away. Below is a Before and After . The chicken pox marks are no longer there!  When using the Spot Healing Brush tool, some things to keep in mind are...     1) Make the brush about the same size as the mark/spot you are trying to remove     2) Use single clicks with your mouse- dragging it can lead to weird color distortions Try using the Spot Healing Brush tool on the following images... 1) Oh no!
