How to use the Hue/Saturation command to adjust colors, without making a selections? I saw this done at a workshop, thought I’d remember……and didn’t. Is the answer in the Adobe Photoshop CS2 user guide?

well I think you are refering to Replace colour, you still have to click with the eye dropper to make your selection.

How to use the Hue/Saturation command to adjust colors, without making a selections

What you’ve probably seen is the ability to adjust certain colours without affecting others. For instance: if you have a portrait of someone wearing a blue sweater, select "blues" from the Hue/Sat drop down menu to adjust the colour of the sweater without affecting the skin tone.

It’s all in Help under "To specify the range of colors adjusted in the Hue/Saturation command".

Briefly: open the Hue/Saturation dialog; select a colour from the "Edit" drop-down; fine-tune it with the eyedropper and sliders in the colour bar; play with the Hue slider.

Let’s say I have a yellow shoe with green laces.
I need to make the shoe blue with pink laces.
I would prefer not to have to make a detailed selection.

I saw someone at a workshop change the color of a car from blue to red. They painted over the entire blue car with the a paint brush changing only the blue areas to red.

Nobody said you had to make a selection.

Copy your layer and then add a Hue & Saturation layer and select "colorize". Adjust the Hue/Saturation and Lightness sliders to achieve your desired colour and click OK. This will change the colour of the whole layer, you then "paint" over the areas you want to restore to the correct, original colour with the brush tool. Make sure you are using the default fore/background colours by pressing "D" on the keyboard.

Forgot to add, change the adjustment layer mode to "Color" and try different opacity levels.

That’s nothing to do with Hue/Sat adjustments – that’s the blending mode you use with paint brush. Color mode will change the colour

Margie. Painting on a mask is much the same as making a selection. Your answer was given in post #2 and then (30 seconds later) in post #3. Try it. It’s magic!
