Change the Color of Any Object in Photoshop

Bit depth defines how many binary combinations a pixel can hold, from one to eight bits per channel in rgb; use 8-bit, 16-bit for extreme work, and 32-bit when needed.

Leverage raw images with higher bit depth in Photoshop, using camera raw, to maintain color detail. Compare 14-bit, 16-bit, and eight-bit workflows and export expectations for JPEG.

Learn how color theory guides color editing in Photoshop by using a raw image in Camera Raw, exploring the color mixer and HSL tool, and understanding color wheel ranges.

Explore color theory with the color wheel, mastering complementary and analogous schemes, and learn how to change colors in Photoshop without using extreme complementary edits.

Explore how the hue/saturation adjustment uses the color wheel in Photoshop, selecting blues and shifting hues along the wheel. Avoid artifacts by staying with analogous colors and balancing saturation.

Learn how selections and layer masking enable precise color changes on specific objects in photos, using quick selections, add/subtract techniques, and hue/saturation adjustments.

Learn to change object colors in Photoshop using the color range selection tool, color range eyedropper, plus add, fuzziness, and layer masking for precise yellow taxi edits.

Learn how Camera Raw's selection and masking features automatically detect subjects, create masks, and refine them with brush edits to isolate dress, skin, or background for non-destructive color changes.

Learn how to create and refine layer masks using selection tools, AI-based selections, and manual tweaks in Photoshop to isolate subjects like a dress, then apply color changes.

Learn layer masking in Photoshop, where an active selection auto-generates a mask that uses white reveals and black conceals for non-destructive hue/saturation edits.

Use selections and layer masks with hue/saturation and color theory to reliably change yellow to blue in a challenging image; explore bit depth, color wheel, and inverted masks.

Use color range selections and layer masks to change color in challenging images. Adjust yellows with hue/saturation, switch bit depths, and invert masks to paint precisely.

Use selections and a layer mask to localize a color change on a duplicate of the original, then refine with hue/saturation adjustments.

Explore how to change a background color in Photoshop by applying blending modes to a solid color fill, comparing hue and color modes, and preserving shadows and lighting.

Explore how blending modes, especially hue and color, change the color of objects like sunglasses in Photoshop, using quick selection, solid color fills, and selective refinement to achieve realistic results.

Master the select and mask workflow with refine edge for accurate Photoshop selections. Adjust brush size, paint edges, and use show edge to refine low-contrast areas.

Master the select and mask tool to refine edges with decontaminate colors and perform head and body selections. Apply color fill and color balance via layered masks to finalize change.

Use the hue/saturation adjustment to change colors with feathered transitions. Learn how sliders control color range and feathering to create soft or hard changes.

Refine color edits with the hue/saturation tool by targeting blues, adjusting transitions to harden soft edges, ensuring accurate color range coverage and avoiding unintended color shifts.

Discover how to use the colorize feature and hue-saturation to change the dress and scooter colors, applying edits via selections, masks, and blending modes.

Apply a hue/saturation adjustment to selectively target yellows for skin color correction, then use a soft, feathered layer mask to blend the result.

Explore how to correct yellowish and greenish color casts with the hue/saturation adjustment, verify color balance using the histogram, and anticipate selective color for more precise color mixing.

Learn to recolor a clothing item in Camera Raw by masking, refining with image-on-black overlays, brushes, and detail controls (highlights, clarity, texture) on a 14-bit image.

Create and manage multiple masks in camera raw, including select background or select subject and invert, then use smart objects and smart filters to edit color and background non-destructively.

Use the replace color tool to convert gray backgrounds to RGB white for ecommerce product photos, selecting gray tones, increasing lightness, and masking to protect the product.

Explore how Photoshop's generative fill uses AI to change color with selections, revealing its hit-or-miss results and practical limits for color editing.
