Adjusting color in part of an image in a photo.

Hi, just bought Photoshop CC and am stuck.  I just received a photo of my uncle that was taken through the glass of the frame it was in.  The right side of his face is lighter than the rest of his face.  How do I adjust this color? You can also see some lightening of the lower right portion of his hat. Other issues have been corrected.  Portion of photo attached.  Thanks.

Thank you so much.  I will give it a shot. Your help is greatly appreciated.  Will let you know how it works.

Adjusting color in part of an image in a photo.
created by musarticus in Photoshop for Beginners - View the full discussionTry this:  1) Duplicate your layer (Command/Control + J)2) Add a mask to the new duplicate layer3) Select the mask and either paint the left side black with your brush tool, or use the gradient tool for a black-to-white gradient4) Change the blend mode on the duplicate layer to "Multiply"5) If you want to go darker, duplicate the layer a second time and adjust the opacity as desired.6) In the image below I also masked out the background and added an orange photo filter to warm up the right side of the face. I cranked the filter to better see it, but you can reduce it to taste.7) There are other things you could try like painting with your brush in "Color" mode to fine-tune skin tones, or use the dodge and burn tools, etc.  https://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-7149917-723260/Multiply.png  If the reply above answers your question, please take a moment to mark this answer as correct by visiting: https://forums.adobe.com/message/7149917#7149917 and clicking ‘Correct’ below the answer Replies to this message go to everyone subscribed to this thread, not directly to the person who posted the message.

  • In Preview, I suddenly am unable to get the "Adjust Color" tool panel to edit images. I just get the rectangular image selection tool instead. How do I ge the "Adjust Color" tool panel back?

    In Preview, I suddenly am unable to get the "Adjust Color" tool panel to edit images. I just get the rectangular image selection tool instead. How do I ge the "Adjust Color" tool panel back?

    Hmmm, I wonder if that window is hidden or off screen? Have you moved the pic window around to look under it?
    Might try this...
    Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions.
    Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist

    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist

    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.bookmarks.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • How do you cut out the part of an image in a photo?

    How do you cut out a part of an image on a photo that you have added to Pages. For example, if I have added a picture of a giraffe to Pages how would I cut out the giraffe from the image and get rid of the rest of the image

    You can use the instant alpha tool to make the background transparent.
    FYI: Pages is part of iWork, not iLife.

  • What would be the best way to change the color of part of this image? (image attached)

    I am on XP using PS CS4.
    Please see the photograph below. I would like to change the color of the shirt/apron of this lady & I was wondering what the best way is to do that. I know if I try replace color, the white bowls change color as well. In the past I have isolated parts of images using paths, but I wanted to know if that was the most efficient way. Maybe masking is the answer. I just wanted to hear from the pros
    Thank you.

    You're welcome!
    Refine Edge button is in the options bar when the QST is active.
    Refine Mask should be available whenever a mask is targeted.

  • Photoshop CS: using a shape to adjust a single part of an image

    I have a pic with a palm tree being lit by a string of christmas lights. I have adjusted the image to may taste but the area where the lights are have too much light.
    I saw a tutorial about 4 months ago where the instructor used a shape to modify a clock on a wall. As my memory serves me in a spotted fashion. He simple drug a circle around the clock and adjusted the luma and choma in the clock.
    can anyone give me a walkthru of how this is done?
    Photoshop CS / Mac 10.5.6 / Intell 3.0 Quadcore

    You need to read up on selections and masks. There are many excellent video tutorials out there, which you can find through Google of course.
    Basically you want to create a selection of the area you want to modify and turn it into a mask.

    That combination is known to cause a multitude of issues, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe. :/

  • Parts of image flickers on photos

    Parts of an image flickers on photos after burning dvd. I made a Movie using imovie 08 with 2mp photos. Used ken burns effect. Some vertical and horizontal lines may flicker, e.g. roof tops, railings, etc. Not all photos have this result. Do not notice it when viewing full screen on imovie where I made the movie. Is this the old dot crawl problem or a refresh rate issue? I used pinnacle ultimate on an old pc and did not have this issue on the final dvd product.

    That flicker is common with the Ken Burns effect. Importing your photos in with the Ken Burns effect turned on seems to help a bit, but won't totally get rid of it. Usually you notice it more on the iMovie preview playback than on the final product, which, however, does not seem to be your case. I can't recall offhand the tech explanation, but someone on this formum can tell you that.
    On the Apple website you can buy Photo to Movie, which is an app that purportedly has a smooth Ken Burns type zooming effect together with a lot of other good slide show effects. Photomaggico is another good plug-in app. Both work well with iMovie.

  • Is it possible to clone one part of an image into another in iphoto?

    Since it is not possible in Aperture to clone one part of an image into another photo is it possible in iphoto?

    No.  You will need to use an image editor that can handle layers.
    Some Image Editors that support  layers:
    Photoshop Elements 9 for Mac - $79
    GraphicConverter - $45
    Rainbow Painter - $30
    Imagerie - $38
    Acorn - $50 Pixelmator - $60 
    Seashore - Free
    Portraits and Prints - Free
    GIMP for Mac - Free
    Of those I believe you get the most bang for the buck with PSE 9.  The following are some of the advanced editing you can do with it:

  • I need to replace a color on my image with a specific color from another part of the image.  How?!

    I have spent over 2 hours trying to figure out how to replace a color on one part of my image with a specific color shown on another part of the image.  So far I have been able to go to "Replace Color" on my Adobe Photoshop version, but it seems that I can only change the hue and brightness of the color that it currently is.  I need to use a specific color so this does not help me.  Does anyone know how to complete the task I am referring to?
    Also, please keep in mind that I am using Adobe Photoshop 6.0, not a fancy cs version or anything.  So it's pretty old school...
    Any help/feedback is greatly appreciated!  Thank you.

    Hi brookehelene,
    You might consider making a selection the object and using a color fill layer set to the color blend mode instead of replace color.
    I used the same picture as kendallplant did and changed the color on the same flower by sampling the pink color from the flower to the right)
    (click on the screenshots below for larger views)
    1. Select>Color Range
       (i used color range because the dialog is somewhat similar to the replace color dialog, except one is making a selection instead of replacing a color)
       (there are many other ways to make the selection such as the magic wand, so if your more familar with the other selection tools you can use those instead to make your selection)
    2. Use the eyedroppers and fuzziness slider in the color range dialog to make the selection of the object.
       (in the screenshot below the white areas are selected and black areas are not)
       (your selection probably won't be perfect, but you can paint on the layer mask to refine the selection)
    3. After you press the okay in the color range dialog you'll see the selection (marching ants)
       At the bottom of the layers palette press the Create New Fill or Adjustment Layer icon
       to reveal a list and choose Solid Color.
       Then use the eyedropper to sample a color from your image and press ok.
       Change the Blend mode for the color fill layer to Color (top of the layers palette)
    4. As you can see a lot has been selected besides the flower.
        To refine the areas of color, paint on the layer mask with the paintbrush tool.
        Use white to add the color or black to subtract the color
        You can press the D key on the keyboard to get the default colors (black and white) in the toolbox
        and press the X key to switch between the two when painting on the layer mask.
    Even though the above takes longer you can easily change the color or modify the areas that you want to change the color on.
    To change the color you can double click on the color fill icon in the layers panel.
    You can also use other layer blend modes besides color such as hue, so you might try some of the others and see what they do.

  • Adjustment brush working in limited parts of the image

    The adjustment brush only shows the brush tool on certain parts of the picture. I can start the adjustment in those parts of the picture and move over to the area that needs to be adjusted, but can not start the adjustment from the part of the picture that needs adjusting. How do I get it to be available for the whole picture?

    That seems to have been an issue with the last several versions of photoshop.
    Turning off open gl (use graphics processor) will make the dot grid display correctly, but at the expense of no open gl functions like 3d.
    It could be a nvidia vs amd thing where one graphics card brand doesn't render the dot grid that way, but the other brand does.

  • Possible to adjust color/ contrast in this way?

    The more I use Photoshop, the more often I come up with an image
    where everything is right, but something on one layer
    has two very similar colors, which are a little too close in
    either contrast or hue.
    But for me, using 'selective color' or 'brightness/contrast' never works because it's not at all accurate.
    Without actually using any selection tools, how should I go about
    changing the hue and contrast (two different browns in this case) so that the two stand apart a little better?
    A perfect description of the function I am asking for is listed HERE:
    1) Eyedrop the two colors you want to adjust, so that ALL other colors by either hue or brighness/contrast (or both) are excluded.
    2) Tell Photoshop to take only these two colors and change them
    across the whole document according to aforementioned parameters, or perhaps by simply replacing one color at a time.
    3) Be able to do this without actually physically outlining and selecting parts of your image with a tool.

    While Brightness/Contrast has supposedly been improved in CS3 I still avoid it and prefer working with Curves-Adjustment Layers; and setting their Blend Mode to Color or Luminance conveniently allows for addressing those matters separately.
    As for avoiding manually outlining a mask:
    Using the Add to Sample- or Subtract from Sample-Eyedroppers in the six colors in a Hue/Saturation-Adjustment Layer can be used to manipulate the affected specific color-ranges.
    Select Color Range can occasionally be useful as can turning off the Contiguous-Setting of the Magic Wand Tool to create selections which can then be utilized as masks for the proper Adjustment Layers (thats still masking though).
    And if one wants to select based on brightness one might duplicate the image, change it to Lab an use the L-Channel as a basis for the selection and save the Selection back to the original.
    Working the Blend If-Settings in an Adjustment Layers Blending Options (and splitting the Handles) may also help, but that is probably a pretty inconvenient way to do it.

  • I want to correct only part of my image. What tools do I use?

    CORRECTING PART OF YOUR PHOTO – USING SELECTIONS
    When you want to modify or adjust a specific area of a photo or image, you need to make a selection first. Once an area is selected you can use Photoshop image adjustment tools.
    This video covers  the process of selecting an area of the photo (the sky only) as well as making  that selected area darker using what's called an "Adjustment layer".
    Note: If you need to know more about layers before watching this video you can check out: "What are layers, and Why do I need them?".
    Selections are important in Photoshop because they allow you to isolate an area of your image not only to adjust color or tone, but also to copy, cut, scale, or mask (hide) a part of your photo. It's good to get familiar with the kinds of selection tools that exist in Photoshop and when to use them.

    RELATED TOPICS:

    Color Correcting Images

    After creating the mask and applying adjustment, you can also adjust and change layer mask using selection tools or, the most common way, using brush tools.
    To have a more accurate preview of what are you doing, Alt + click on the layer mask thumbnail to show the mask in the image area.
    At this point, you will have a layer mask on your screen in large view, so it is easy to fine tune it, but you wont see how that affects your image.
    To seean  instant preview how changes on layer mask affects the adjustments, use New Window for (name of your image) from Window > Arrange.

  • Converting part of an image to Grayscale (black & white)

    Q. I want to make part of an image grayscale but keep some color elements.
    Answer: There is always more than one way to do something in Photoshop.
    #1 Select the area you want to be grayscale. Create a new Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer (half-moon icon in the Layers palette). Dial down the Saturation.
    #2 Make a copy of your image and make it Grayscale.
    After creating a layer in the color image with just the part of your image you want to still be color paste the Grayscale image under this layer.
    Your image will still be a color image with elements that look grayscale.
    #3 In CS3 (version 10 ) use Image > Adjustments > Black & White

    It's all virtual right now. Various issues keep the points from being displayed, but it does contribute to the "level" setup which at some point will function (I'm guessing) much like the "old system" where you get certain bonuses (personal avatars, etc) depending on the "level" you are in the system.
    I'm already a level 4, so points only contribute to my "reputation", I guess. But TPTB have suggested that we inform users of the Forum on the proper way to use it to build a better community.
    Thanks for the "Solved"

  • More green color in parts of picture - how ?

    I need help with my picture, where there is a branch with green moss. I would like to give the green moss more green color without affecting the rest of the image. 
    Have tried with maskelayer and miscellaneous filters, but can't find the right solution.

    There's a couple of ways of doing this, here's one approach:
    0. Add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer.
    1. Select the finger button and then click on the moss. This will tell Hue/Saturation what colour you want to change. Drag the Saturation slider to the right (or just drag on the image using the finger), this will increase the saturation of the moss but also other parts of the image. Make sure you exaggerate the effect, so it will be easier for you to fine-tune it.
    2. You can drag the dark grey bit around to fine tune what colours of the spectrum your are adjusting. You can also move the falloff sliders to the left and right of the grey bit and fine-tune how the adjustment fades. Play around with this till you are reasonably happy with the result. 
    3. You can now use the mask on the adjustment layer to fine tune exactly where the adjustment is applied. Left click the mask on the layer so it gets selected. Now use the Paintbrush and paint with black to remove the effect where you don't want it.
    You might have to play around with this for a bit until you are happy with the result..

  • How to clone one part of an image into another

    Is it possible in Aperture to clone one part of an image into another or as in windows fuse the photos together?
    Thanks

    This points directly to the difference between a digital image conversion and development program, and a graphics program.
    Development programs' tools adjust the color and luminance information in each pixel.  They do not (mostly) add any information to the pixels or to the image.
    Graphics programs are built around adding information to images (or blank canvases).  Rectangles, circles, text, other images -- these are all graphics elements which are combined to make a new image.
    Aperture is the former (and also a superb digital asset manager).
    The generalized workflow is this:
    Capture information using a digital camera
    Optimize that information (make the picture as good as possible) using an image development program
    Combine pictures and graphics elements to make new graphics using a graphics program
    There are many excellent graphics programs.  Photoshop is the best known and most used.
