If you want to make subtle adjustments to color temperature, it's useful to work in CMYK color mode. When you selectively adjust color, it can be hard to match the color temperature - "warm" (red, yellow) or "cool" (green, blue) - of the rest of the image. Move the Hue slider towards red, and move the Saturation slider right to enhance the redness.Open the Image menu, and choose Adjustments, Hue/Saturation. Now we can adjust the hue and saturation, as we did above, but only the selected area will be adjusted. We have a selection covering only the green parts of the apples.Pixels in the "gray area" will be affected according to how white it is. Color adjustments will be strongest in the bright areas, and won't be applied to the black areas at all. As you can see, the feathered selection has softer edges. The actual selected pixels are illustrated in the diagram below.


Move your mouse cursor over your image, and it turns into the eyedropper tool. The white and gray parts represent the range of colors that will be selected. In the Color Range dialog, you'll see a black and white thumbnail of your image.

Open the Select menu, and choose Color Range.For example, you may want to change all the green apples to look red.įollow these steps to selectively adjust a range of colors in Photoshop.
