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.

1. What does GIF stand for? Via:  Tumblr GIF stands for  Graphics Interchange Format , a "bitmap image format widely used on the Internet for its flexible web support and portability."  Basically, a GIF is an  image file format , like a .jpg, or .png. It was  invented  by  Steve Wilhite  in 1987. The popular usage of GIF involves animation, or movement.  2. Is it pronounced 'GIF' like 'gift' or 'GIF' like the peanut butter brand? Lets see if we can't get some answers from good old YouTube! The internet is filled with different GIFs for all sorts of things. Probably the most helpful resource in finding these GIFs is the website  GIPHY . Try to find a couple of GIFs that you like!
