The Adjust Selected Colors effect is similar to the Adjust Colors effect, but it works only on a specified range of colors within an image. You choose a color in an image and adjust colors within a range of that color. You could, for example, change yellow peppers to red peppers. You can adjust colors that are exactly the same as the color you select, or you can choose colors within a range, based on proximity (on the color wheel or the color space) to the selected color.
Selective color adjustments change only certain colors in the image.
The Range sliders determine the extent of the HSV color space around the selected center color.
By combining these settings, you can set up a very specific range of colors to adjust. For example, you can limit changes to a precise shade of red.
The Feather sliders affect the softness at the edge of the selected colors. These sliders can help you create smoother transitions between the replaced color and the original.
A replaced color with and without feathering.
You can choose from any of the following adjustment methods:
| • |
Paper — uses the selected paper grain to control the color adjustment |
| • |
Image Luminance — uses the luminance of the image as the model for color adjustment. Areas of greater luminance are adjusted more. |
| • |
Original Luminance — uses the luminance of the clone source as the model for color adjustment. If you have not set up a clone source, the current pattern is used. |
