Changing hue/saturation

I make a selection and choose Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation and it seems the colors are completely off when I have the colorize option selected.
Should this checkbox not be selected when changing colors this way? I know that this could also be done with an adjustment layer, I am just curious why the colors seem off.
Thanks.

If your goal is to keep a full range of colors, but skew them on the spectrum, you'll want to make sure Colorize is turned off.
Colorize works by taking the average value (pure grey) and setting it to be equivalent to your new color (in the Hue/Saturation sliders). This then gets tinted and shaded (using the whites and blacks in your document). Essentially, Colorize fakes a dutotone image (the only colors will be the one you select + black).

Copying selection to new layer and changing hue/saturation?

I made a selection around someone's teeth and I copied it to a new layer.
1. On the new layer, using Hue/Saturation, what is the best way to remove some of the yellow in the teeth? I chose yellow from the drop-down, though I am doing something wrong because the teeth are not appearing more white.
2. Is it a better idea to do this as an adjustment layer instead of copying it to a different layer, or is it just a different way to do the same thing?
Thanks.

"If you create a new layer it is likely to create more additional data than the Mask of an Adjustment Layer."
1. What do you mean by additional data?
If you lift a part of an image onto a new layer that layer has as many channels as the image (3 for RGB, 4 for CMYK etc.) whereas an Adjsutment Layer has one channel (its Mask), so the file would increase in size more in the first case (unless it is a grayscale image or possibly if the layer has no detail etc.).
2. To get rid of yellow in the teeth, are you suggesting to slightly desaturate in the Masters and than a bit more in the yellows? So doing it to both?
Yes, but just try and see if it helps with your image.

In Photoshop CS6 Hue Saturation does not work with forground/background Jitter set at 100 percent no change in color is observed. Help

In Photoshop CS6 Hue Saturation does not work with forground/background Jitter set at 100 percent no change in color is observed. I have Added a screen Shot of the Brush settings and a demonstration of what the brush produces.
I also notice That when I make a pattern of a single color, when I fill a selection with the pattern I get a rainbow of different colors.
I am running a 64 bit version of Photoshop from the CS6 Masters Collection
I am on a PC with a Intel i7 1366 4 physical cores and 8 threads, 24 Gig of DDR memory, A Crucial 512 Gig SSD and a NVIDIA GTX 570 with 2 Gig of memory.

Using Hue Saturation to change color of shirt not working

In CS5, I tried to make a selection of a white shirt and used Image > Adjustment >Hue Saturation, though when I drag the Hue slider, nothing happens, only a little bit of pixels of color change. Why is this.
Thanks.

1. So this is simply the wrong tool to change the color?
Are you familiar with the geometric representation for the HSB- or LCH-model?
The straight line connecting white and black is the axis that’s totally neutral, so changing the Hue or the Saturation/Chroma has no effect on points located thereon.
You can still use Hue/Saturation to colorize neutrals by checking the Colorize-box.
Or create a Solid Color Layer of the intended color and set it to Blend Mode Color and use a Curves Adjustment Layer to adjust the Luminance below that.
Edit:

Figure 2a might be helpful in illustrating the gray axis.

Hue saturation changing too many colors

I have some yellow flowers that I want to change the colors of.
I am also noticing that whether I choose Master or Yellows from the drop down in a hue/saturation adjustment layer, it is still changing the color of some other items in the background that I do not want to change.
I tried using the history brush over those rocks, and items in the background, though it does not seem to do anything.
1. Why is it doing this?
2. What is the best way to have it not change the items in the background?
Thanks.

You could also select the stuff you want to change before running the Hue/Saturation function.
c.pfaffenbichler's advice is good regarding adjusting the color range.

In Photoshop CC (2014), Hue/Saturation adjustment layer properties disappear

I am running Photoshop CC (2014) under Windows 7 Professional. The program is up to date.
Today, while editing an 8-bit image, I added a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. Then, in the properties panel for this layer, with the on-image adjustment tool selected, I clicked a color in the image to get a range of colors whose saturation I wanted to adjust. Next, using the saturation slider in the properties panel, I increased the saturation of this range of colors. Finally, I closed the properties panel by clicking on the double arrow in the upper right corner.
Later, I wanted to modify this adjustment layer. I double-clicked on the layer thumbnail to reopen the properties panel, and found that, although the previous increase in saturation was still operating, the saturation slider was back at its default position, and the range of colors that I had previously established was gone. Thus, I could not make further adjustments to this range of colors.
I then did some further experimentation: I deleted the first Hue/Saturation adjustment layer, and created a new Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. I then again established a range of colors as above, again increased the saturation of these colors, and then again closed the properties panel by clicking on the double arrow in the upper right corner. This time, however, when I wanted to try to modify this adjustment layer, instead of double-clicking on the layer thumbnail to reopen the properties panel, I right-clicked on the layer and then clicked on "Edit adjustment..." This opened the properties panel, which, this time, correctly showed my original adjustments -- the saturation slider showed the positive adjustment that I had previously made, and the range of colors established earlier was still shown. But then, on a hunch, I added a Curves adjustment layer above the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. Now, when I again opened the properties panel of the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer (by right-clicking on the layer and then clicking on "Edit adjustment..."), my previous settings were gone -- the saturation slider was at its default position and the range of colors was gone! (But the increase in saturation was still operating.)
Thus, it appears that there is a bug in the functioning of the properties panel of the Hue/Saturation layer: In short, once you have added a further adjustment layer, you can't then go back and make changes to the properties of the Hue/Saturation layer. I would be interested to hear if others have noticed this. Also, is Adobe planning to address this?

OK, I am not entirely sure I have understood your post completely, but when you edit a colour range with a Hue/Sat layer, and click off and back on again, it will default to showing the RGB values, which you may not have made any adjustment to. If you pick the previous colour from the image, or a similar colour, it _will_ show you the adjustments. So long as your picked colour is contained within the range of the previous adjustment.
Ypu could also use the RGB drop down (actually they call it Master nowadays), and chose the colour that is closest to your previously picked colour. I expect you are away that you can edit the colour range being operated on by dragging the four sliders on the two colour bars at the bottom of the Properties panel.
Does that make sense, or am I going in the wrong direction?

The eyedropper tool does not work with a hue saturation adjustment layer

I am using PS CC 2014, and the problem I am having is that when I want to use the eyedropper tool to adjust the colour range affected by a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer, rather than selecting the colour in the Properties window for the adjustment layer, use of the eyedropper closes the properties window and changes the foreground colour in my palette.
Here's the real hitch... the same thing happened to me at school last night where a) the Mac's are older and b) CS6 is still used.
It's something with my user settings, to be sure, because the prof logged into his account on the Mac I was using in class to test it out, and it worked for him; we logged back into my account and it still did not work for mine.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any insights.

Indeed Trevor, that did solve the problem. Clearly it was something I changed... wish I knew what. But, I have a list of all the settings changes I made before, so I can figure it out by making one at a time then checking...

Replace color and hue/saturation?

Is there any real difference with using hue/saturation and replace color to change the color of an item OR is it just two ways to do the same thing?

If you did a hue/saturation change then both the blue and yellow would change according to the sliders that you use.
That would apply if you edit the Hue/Saturation’s Master (alt-2), but if the Colors are sufficiently different one could influence only the Reds (alt-3), Yellows {alt-4) etc.
And that’s naturally best done with an Adjustment Layer.

Hue Saturation Dialog Box

Since a day or two, when I go under Enhance > Adjust Color > Adjust Hue/Saturation : the color picker is activated instead of the dialog box. I can only leave the color picker by pressing the ESC-button. I still can adjustHue and Saturation using an adjustment layer. Does anyone have any idea whether some setting has caused this change ?
I use PSE 9 on a MacBook Air. All updates installed.
Thank you in advance

Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 paths

Repair permissions and try again. If you're using lion, that library is hidden. To see it, in the Finder click the Go menu and hold down the option key. It will appear below the little house for your user account. Also, if using lion, while you're in there, go to Saved Application States and delete the one(s) for PSE 9.

Hue/Saturation of one Layer?

Is that possible? I don't want the hue to change the entire image and what I'm trying to change is glowing text so selecting it is kinda out of the question. The text is on it's own layer though can I just adjust the color of that layer?

If it's rasterized, directly change the pixels by selecting that layer, then just running Image - Adjust - Hue/Saturation...
-or-
Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Hue / Saturation, and check the box that clips the adjustment layer to just the one layer beneath it:
-or-
If it's just the color of the text itself you want to change, select that layer then choose the Text Tool. You can change the color of the text by adjusting the color in the options area at the top of the Photoshop main window.

Image Adjustment Hue/Saturation questions

I have a picture of a car that I selected, that was originally red, and I am using Image > Adjustment > Hue/Saturation to change its color. The slider shows specific colors beneath it, such as blue, though that is not the color that the car color is changing to.
1.) Is it not changing to that color because I am selecting a blue hue, though after mixing with the red color of the car it becomes a new color?
2.) Is there any reason to feather the selection I made to the car prior to changing its color? Does this affect it at all?
3.) Are there any other tips for making the image appear better when doing something like this?
Many Thanks!

Sorry, I am using CS5
1.) I was doing the Hue change previously to the "Master" in the drop-down and it seemed to change the color the same way as it is with the drop-down set to "Reds." What is the difference?
2.) If the 2 points in the middle are the ones that determine which range of colors get affected, what are the outer 2 points determining?
3.) "The first bar shows the colors as they appear originally." Is the first color bar showing a spectrum of all colors in the image? Because there are lots of colors in that bar, and the car I selected is just red, so I would think it would just show red if it was only colors in the selected image.
Thanks!

Options when adjusting hue/saturation

Using a Hue/Saturation Adjustment layer:
1. Do you ideally want to go through and adjust Reds, Yellows, greens, Cyans, Magentas individually? Are final results not as good if you just adjust the Master by itself?
2. Looking at my imgage, I do not see any blues, however, when I adjust the hue slide while having blue selected, I see some slight changes to my image. I'm guessing that this means that there are some slight blues in the image.
Would you just leave the blues alone in a situation like this, or is there some graph that you use to make changes even if you do not see the colors in the actual image?
Thanks.

Sometimes the ability to hammer one color into submission can really help out...

Adding to the selection of a current hue/saturation adjustment layer?

I made a selection on a car, used a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to change that selected color, though I went and used the Magic Wand to add more to my selection and that new part of the selection is not affected by the previous Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. How is this done? Do I have to make a new Hue/Saturation adjustment layer for the added selection Using Cs5.
Thanks.

There's selection of the color range the Hue/Saturation layer will work on. That's controlled by the little sliders that appear when you choose, for example, "Reds". You can do things like widen or narrow the range of colors included, as well as widen or narrow the ramps defining how much that colors near the edges of the ranges will be affected.
There's also the possibility that you defined a layer mask when making the Hue/Saturation layer, which will define which pixels in the image will be affected. If so, you need to click on the layer mask in the Layers panel and paint on it (white to choose which parts the Hue/Saturation layer will work on, black to choose which parts not to work on). You can, of course, paint grayscale on the layer mask to have certain pixels partially affected.
Hope this helps.

Hue/Saturation Adjustment layer problems

I posted earlier about having problems printing with new color laser printer and colors printing wrong. It is not the printer, the printer prints perfect color from what I see on my screen (calibrated). Have narrowed it down to a hue/saturation adjustment layer. When I open and print a scrapbook paper (brownish color jpg) with out doing anything to it, it prints perfect color. When I add an hue/saturation adjustment layer (to change the color to blue) then it won't print the right color. I have checked "colorize" and unchecked "colorize" when adding an adjustment layer. I have tried flattening the image and merging the layers before printing. I have unclipped the adjustment layer to the layer below. It prints the wrong colors only when I add a hue/saturation layer
What am I missing? This is driving me absolutely crazy!!!
Thanks!

You could try Layer - Flatten just for the moment of printing (don't forget to undo it afterward).
Seems too basic a problem, though... I more strongly suspect a color management problem.
Is there a difference in the way you're opening the file that prints well vs. the one that's a problem? Or is this one and the same file?
What is your document profile?
What do you have set in the Photoshop print dialog for color management?
What do you have set in the printer driver for color management?

Adjustment Layer - Hue/Saturation.

I am using Elements 10. I am trying to change colours on an image by using Layer -New Adjustment Layer - Hue/Saturation.
The video tutorial I am using is telling me to select the 'click & drag' icon which is on the left of the Master drop down list in the New Adjustmnt Layer.
Although the image on the video shows this Icon, I cannot see one on my screen.
Can anyone please advise?

In PSE10 there is no icon. Only three sliders and three eye droppers.
