Replace the color of objects in an image
The
Replace Color command lets you create a mask to select specific
colors in an image and then replace those colors. You can set the
hue, saturation, and lightness of the selected areas. Or you can
use the Color Picker to select the replacement color. The mask created
by the Replace Color command is temporary.
- Choose Image > Adjustments >
Replace Color.
- (Optional) If you are selecting multiple color ranges
in the image, select Localized Color Clusters to build a more accurate
mask.
- Select a display option:
- Selection
- Displays the mask in the preview box. Masked areas are
black, and unmasked areas are white. Partially masked areas (areas
covered with a semitransparent mask) appear as varying levels of
gray according to their opacity.
- Image
- Displays the image in the preview box. This option is
useful when you are working with a magnified image or have limited
screen space.
- To select the areas exposed by the mask, do one of the
following:
Use the Eyedropper tool  to
click in the image or in the preview box to select the areas exposed
by the mask. Shift-click or use the Add To Sample Eyedropper tool  to
add areas; Alt-click (Windows), Option-click (Mac OS), or
use the Subtract From Sample Eyedropper tool  to
remove areas.
Double-click the Selection swatch. Use the Color
Picker to target the color you want replaced. As you select a color
in the Color Picker, the mask in the preview box is updated.
- Adjust the tolerance of the mask by dragging the Fuzziness
slider or entering a value. This slider controls the degree to which
related colors are included in the selection.
- To change the color of the selected areas, do one of
the following:
Drag the Hue, Saturation, and Lightness
sliders (or enter values in the text boxes).
Double-click the Result swatch and use the Color
Picker to select the replacement color.
You can also save the settings you make in the Replace
Color dialog box for reuse in other images.
