Photoshop: recolouring images
07/06/08 17:52 Filed in: Photoshop

Don't get the idea that I'm obsessed with flowers but here's another flower exercise for your pleasure. Ever need to quickly recolour an image or part of an image?
I can remember years ago doing really stupid things like trying to make a selection in an image before attempting to adjust colours. Naturally, you don't have to do this. Here watcha do:
1. Open your image and head over to Image> Adjustments> Replace Colour. Select the Eyedropper tool and begin clicking in the parts of the image that you'd like to change.

2. There's really nothing to this. Click on the colour to the right of the Hue/Sauration/Brightness sliders and select yourself a new colour. Here's where you can play about with the fuzziness slider to control how much of the image is affected by your selection. Now you can either select the Eyedropper icon with the '+' next to it or simply hold down Shift to keep adding to your selection. If you make a mistake and want to remove from your selection simply hold down the alt key.

...Gone. Now feel free to recolour your flower to whatever colour you like. Blue anyone?

Orange anyone?

Short and sweet, I admit. But occasionally useful. A bit like myself.
