When editing images in Photoshop, it is often necessary to change the color of an object or part of it, and do it so that it exactly retains its texture, shadow, transition effects and other attributes. For obvious reasons, simple recoloring with a brush is not applicable here, this method is only valid when working with solid objects.

When replacing the color of textured or non-uniform objects in color, you cannot do without using additional tools. So, how to replace the color of an object in Photoshop.

Replacing color with changing layer blending mode

The easiest way to replace a color in Photoshop is to use a blend mode. Now we will not analyze how exactly the interaction of colors works when using different modes, it is better to get down to business right away. In our example, we will change the color of the inner circle of the drawn gear. It is now blue, but we want it to turn red while retaining all of its gradients and effects.

Open the images in Photoshop, create a new layer and change its blending mode to.

Select the desired color in the palette and start painting with a regular brush directly over the object. Isn't it too simple?

Yes, if the areas close to the edited object are black, white or gray (any gradation). In all other cases, the area to be recoloured will first need to be selected with a lasso, a magic wand, or by applying a mask.

Replacing color by color correction

This method is more suitable for replacing the color of objects that have a more or less uniform tone, for example, clothes, flowers, car bodies, etc. Open the image in Photoshop and choose from the menu Picture -> Correction -> .

In the window that opens, take an eyedropper and click on the color that you intend to replace, after which it will immediately appear at the top of the window.

Then click on the square with the color (Result) at the bottom of the dialog box and in the palette that opens, select the desired color.

Changes can be viewed in real time. For a more accurate definition of the recoloured object, you can use the scatter and eyedropper option «+» and «-» allowing you to add and remove adjacent areas.

Replacing color with a custom brush

In recent versions of Photoshop, there is a special brush that allows you to replace the selected color, including neutral, with any other. It is located in the same group of tools as a regular brush. The essence of its work is to replace the color of adjacent pixels, the error of which is determined by the user himself. So, with the admission 1 percent only one specific color will be replaced, which will fall into the focus of the brush.

With admission 30 percent the brush will replace the color of not only those pixels that will be in its focus, but also adjacent ones that have a similar color shade. When 100 percent all colors will be replaced. The main difficulty when working with a brush Color Swap the fact that the user has to select the admission empirically. As in our opinion, 14-17 percent for a start it will be enough, if necessary, this threshold can always be raised.

There are dozens of ways to change color in Adobe Photoshop. The easiest and fastest is to use the special command Replace color or “Replace color”. This function is convenient to use when working with any object in the photograph. This command is also useful when replacing the color of several small details that are randomly scattered throughout the image. This article provides detailed step-by-step instructions for completing this simple task.

Open the image in Photoshop. Duplicate the main layer. To do this, go to the "Layer" tab in the top menu and select "Duplicate Layer" or press Ctrl + J. Go to the "Image" tab (Image). Select “Adjustments” - “Replace Color”. A dialog box will appear. At its top, check the box next to Localized Color Clusters . There are 3 pipettes below. With the first selected, click on the area of ​​the object where you want to change the color. It will appear in the top square of the dialog box.


An eyedropper with a plus sign adds area. Use it when there are unselected areas on the object. Eyedropper with minus - removes the part of the image that cannot be replaced by color.


Adjust the “Spread” parameter. If you leave the slider at the beginning, only those pixels that exactly match the color of the sample will be replaced. At maximum values ​​of the parameter, the program will replace all shades of the selected color. Adjust the Replace option. At the bottom of the dialog box, there are three commands: hue, saturation, and lightness. Use them to select the color and the desired shade to replace. Be guided by the square on the right labeled “Result”.


Click “Ok”. A good effect is obtained with contrasting images, especially if there are no similar shades of the variable color. If there are many tones of the selected paint, and you only need to change one area, first select it using the appropriate tool on the taskbar. Thus, changing the color of any object in Photoshop is quick and easy.

Hello dear readers of my blog. Today we will again comprehend the basics of working with the Photoshop program. I wonder how you would look if your hair or skin color were completely different? I already talked about.

I will work in Photoshop CC, but if you have a different version, then it's okay. All functions are simple. The software is installed in Russian. By the way, if you have an English version, I can also recommend the article "". Very convenient, makes life easier.

Color correction

So, I have already selected the object, or rather the background of the photo, and transferred it to a new layer using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + J.

Now I go to the "Image" - "Correction" tab. There are a lot of options here that will help you change the hue: Brightness / Contrast, Color Balance, Photo Filter and even Gradient Map. You can try each of them in order to understand from your own experience how this or that tool works, to choose an interesting method that suits you specifically.

I will use Hue / Saturation.

You can tug on different sliders for an excellent effect.

As you can see, the differences cannot be called striking, but you do not need to fool your head with the selection, so that the layers look uniform and professional, and the object does not stand out from the general background.

Striking changes

To make the background of a completely different color, I will use the Color Replacement tool all in the same Adjustments tab (how to draw a black background for Photoshop -).

After opening the dialog box, your cursor will change. The eyedropper tool will be hidden in it. Just click on the color you want to change. Use the Spread slider to define the area you are going to work with, and then click on the color bar above the Result entry, or again work with the Hue, Saturation, Brightness sliders.

I chose the first option. I clicked on "Result" and now choose a shade and color from the palette so that the subtle blue turns to pink.

Professional, fast, easy

In my opinion, the most successful tool for working with the colors of complex objects is the color replacement brush. Hold the left mouse button on a regular brush for a long time until an additional menu opens.

Now select the shade to which you will change the color of the layer.

It remains only to paint over the necessary areas, as you can see, all the shades are preserved. Very fast and convenient.

Can be repainted to any suitable option.

Bonus

Another way to change the color with the help of a new layer does not appeal to me too much, but I suppose that some may like it and it will certainly come in handy sometime in the future. So, create a new layer, and then select the "Hue" blending mode for it.

This is how it should turn out in the end.

Now take any color, for example, yellow, the Paint Bucket tool and fill the layer we just created.

You can try other blending modes as well. Feel free to experiment.

With the help of an eraser, you can return the girl to a normal complexion.

By the way, do not forget that many professionals use it as an eraser. Still not able to work with her? Then the publication will come in handy, the link to which I gave.
