Step 4: Adjust the Color

As you click and select your desired color range, the Hue/Saturation panel will update to display the specific color range you've chosen. You can now fine-tune the color change by adjusting the "Hue" slider. Watch how the color transforms in real-time as you drag the slider left or right.

Step 5: Fine-Tune Saturation and Lightness

To further refine your color change, utilize the "Saturation" and "Lightness" sliders. "Saturation" controls color intensity, while "Lightness" adjusts brightness and darkness.

Now, here's a valuable tip:

Step 6: Utilize the Colorize Option

Within the Hue/Saturation panel, you'll find the "Colorize" checkbox. Activating this option allows you to apply a single, unified color to your selected range. Adjust the Hue and Saturation sliders to fine-tune the colorization. This feature is particularly handy when aiming for a monochromatic or stylized effect.

But wait, there's more:

Step 7: Apply Additional Touches with Layer Masks

To achieve pixel-perfect precision in your color changes, consider using layer masks. Layer masks empower you to selectively paint in or erase color adjustments in specific areas of your image. Here's how:

• Select the "Colors" adjustment layer in the Layers panel.
• Add a layer mask to your adjustment layer.
• Invert the layer mask to black by selecting it and pressing Ctrl + I (Cmd + I on Mac).
• Choose a soft brush tool and adjust its size and opacity in the Brush settings.
• Start painting over the areas where you want the color change to be applied.
• As you paint with black on the layer mask, it will reveal the original colors underneath, masking the color change selectively.
• Fine-tune your layer mask by painting with black and white until you're satisfied.

By harnessing layer masks, you can precisely target specific areas for color adjustments, ensuring your creative vision is flawlessly realized.
