Hue, saturation etc blend modes

I changed the mode of a RGB image to HSB color model ... then copy and paste hue channel as a layer to the original RGB image ...
After changing the blend mode of the hue layer to the hue blend mode ... I can't see my original RGB image.
Why?
Thanks a lot ...

You mean you see your image in grayscale (desaturated) after changing the blend mode of the pasted layer to Hue?
When you change the blend mode to Hue:
"Keeps the Hue of the active layer, and blends the luminance and  saturation of the underlying layers
(you basically get the image from  the lower layer with the colors of the top layer)."
Taken from this page on blend modes in photoshop:

Maybe if you told us your goal we could give some advice on how.

  • Hue Blend Mode Confusion

    Hello,
      In reading about the Hue blend mode, I have come to understand (perhaps erroneously) that given two layers (T)op and (B)ottom, that if the Blend Mode of T is set to Hue, then the hue information in T will be blended with the saturation and luminosity in B, which essentially means that the hue information in B is replaced by the hue information in T. However, in running some experiments, I've noticed that when dealing with a very simple document comprised of two layers only, that setting the Blend Mode to Hue also changes the saturation and brightness.
    Here are the steps to duplicate the observed phenomena using two regular layers:
    Create a new blank document.
    Fill with the color that corresponds to the HSB values (0, 70, 50).
    Add a new layer above the existing layer (blend mode Normal).
    Fill the topmost layer with the color that corresponds to the HSB values (230, 70, 50).
    Using the Info panel, the HSB values for the document should read as (230, 70, 50).
    Change the Blend Mode of the topmost layer to Hue.
    Using the Info panel, the HSB values for the document should read as (230, 70, 50), but instead read as (230, 66, 53).
    And here are the steps to duplicate the observed phenomena using a regular layer and an adjustment layer:
    Create a new blank document.
    Fill with the color that corresponds to the HSB values (0, 70, 50).
    Add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer (blend mode Normal).
    Adjust the Hue value in the Properties panel for the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to be -130.
    Using the Info panel, the HSB values for the document should read as (230, 70, 50).
    Change the Blend Mode for the Hue/Saturation layer to be Hue.
    Using the Info panel, the HSB values for the document should read as (230, 70, 50), but instead read as (230, 66, 53).
    The results in both (for me) are identical. Am I misunderstanding the Hue blend mode?
    Thanks,

    Hi Chris,
      Thanks very much for your straightforward and helpful answer. So, it would appear that my simplistic understanding of the Hue blend mode as 'replacing' the hue of the underlying layer(s) is incorrect. Would a fair rendering of what the Hue blend mode actually does be as follows?
    "The Hue blend mode will perform a direct replacement of the hue in the underlying layer(s). The brightness and saturation of the underlying layer(s) will not be affected *unless* the resultant hue, saturation, and brightness 3-tuple would result in an illegal HSL combination, in which case the saturation and brightness of the resultant pixels will be altered to bring the HSL values into compliance."
    Also, is there a way for the Info panel to display HSL values?
    Thanks again,
    Matt

  • Saturation Blend Mode Does Not Perform As Specified

    This question was asked two days ago by another poster on the Photoshop Macintosh Forum. There were no responses, so I am re-asking the question here.
    According to ALL authorities out there, the Saturation Blend Mode is supposed to produce a result having the saturation of the blend color. It does not consistently do so (and the inconsistencies are not limited to gray areas). Why?

    Hi,
    Thanks for the answers,
    yes the two vlans are just switched on the catalyst, they enter into the routed process with the other layer-3 vlans.
    The default gw of the servers is the csm (the alias ip). We are totally sure there is not an asymmetric routing, the vlan servers talk with other vlans only by being bridged by the CSM.
    We tried a similar catch-all configuration in the past days, now we'll check your last configuration: our aim is not to lose "src port" infos when the ACK comes back from the server to the client. We saw that nat client/natpool work as a PAT.
    The other problem we had with our original catch-all configuration (listed below) is that we can't have two of them for different vservers/serverfarms (VIP) on the same vlan. We'll check it and we'll let you know

  • Quick question about hue / saturation / transparency etc

    I'm basically doing a simple photography website for a friend, and an trying out a few mouseover effects for the thumbnails.
    Initially I tried reducing the transparency, and now the brightness, but neither seem, quite right.
    Looking around online for what works well, I stumbled across Peter Lik's website.
    If you look here :
    http://www.peterlik.com
    And click on Collections to bring up a thumbnail gallery, can anyone with an eye for these things advise me as to what changes in hue / saturation / contrast etc look like they'd create the dulled thumbnail image compared with the brighter one when you mouse over.
    Many thanks.

    Thank you!
    I originally just did the thumbs as a 60% opacity, but it was a default white background. I hadn't finished off a full gallery, so was showing the guy the Peter Lik page as an example of the effect. Looking at them together, we reckoned the Peter Lik one was more effective, as the reduced opacity on the white background was a bit washed out looking.
    So then I was trying different combinations of the brightness, which needed countering with the contrast, and I couldn't quite seem to get it.
    But you've hit the mail on the head - reducing the opacity on a black background is the winner!
    Many thanks for prepping that example PNG - much appreciated.

  • How to add keyframes on blending Mode (Normal, Soft Light etc)

    Hi All,
    How can I add keyframes on blending mode? I have a movie layer and need it to start from Soft Light with sooth transition to Normal or Hard Light in a few seconds.How can I do this?
    Thanks
    Andy

    Thank you. I have found another way here:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/9.0/WS3878526689cb91655866c1103906c6dea-7d0aa.htm l
    "You can’t directly animate blending modes by using keyframes. To change a blending mode at a certain time, split the layer at that time and apply the new blending mode to the part of the layer that continues. You can also use the Compound Arithmetic effect, the results of which are similar to the results of blending modes but can change over time."
    Have you tried that? which way is preferrable quality-wise?

  • Problems with blending modes

    Hi,
    I have a layer with a solid color (212º,93,78) on top of which I have another layer with a solid color (205º,100,74).  Call this second layer the blend layer. I then choose for it a blending mode of Color, and the resulting color in the top layer is (205º,100, 74). If instead I choose the luminosity blending mode, the resulting color in the top layer is (212º,93,78).
    ---all these are HSB coordinates.
    According to the documentation. color and luminosity blending modes should behave differently:
    Color
    Creates a result color with the luminance of the base color and the hue and saturation of the blend color. This preserves the gray levels in the image and is useful for coloring monochrome images and for tinting color images.
                              ------ the luminance of the base color is 78 (at least the brightness anyway - I know of no method to get the luminance)
    Luminosity
    Creates a result color with the hue and saturation of the base color and the luminance of the blend color. This mode creates the inverse effect of Color mode.
                   -------  in this case everything is equal, which seems to me is not right.

    Generally speaking, Photoshop works fine with Windows 8 but the display drivers aren't all up to the task yet, and Photoshop uses the GPU for a lot of stuff.
    What video card do you have?
    You might find you can go into Edit - Preferences - Performance in Photoshop and disable the usage of GPU (the setting is called [  ] Use Graphics Processor in Photoshop CS6, and [  ] Enable OpenGL Drawing in earlier versions).  It's also possible that you might find things to work better if you leve the GPU enabled but change the advanced mode for it to a lower setting, such as Basic.
    In a general answer to your question, yes, I imagine there will be updates through Windows Update and from Adobe that will correct the problems.  You may be able to accelerate the fix by visiting the web site of the maker of your video card and downloading their recent driver release (though I caution against this with ATI drivers right now - their latest aren't really too good).

  • Layer group blending modes

    There was some discussion about defaulting layer groups blending mode being normal by default instead of pass through. While I do use a lot of smart objects as "normal" containers (albeit mostly to filter rather than blend), I'm interested in techniques which would make normal a more useful default. Any thoughts?

    OK... Here's my 2 cents. I use layer sets (layer groups) often in color correction work. Some times to get color where you want it, you may need to use 2 or 3 adjustment layers. For instance a Hue Saturation layer and a Curve layer. rather tan masking both of them, I put them into a layer set, and make one mask at the set level. This is helpful if later you need to extend the correction to include additional areas... all you need to do is modify one mask. In this situation, the layer set has to be set to pass through in order to affect pixels below it.
    Now, lets say I grabbed a head from a different image, to add a person to the image I started with. If the head requires brightening and color adjustments to make it match the existing image, I find it a little neater to place the head layer in a layer set, then all the adjustment layers can go inside the set with it. But I need the blend mode of this set to be normal, so that the effects of the adjustment layers within it do not continue past the set level. Make sense?
    I realize that you can link the adjustments to the layer you intend to affect, but I find the method I described to just be a little neater as far as layer management. AND if I then need to paint in hair for the head layer and paint in some eye enhancements, I can do each on its own layer inside the set. Sometimes I'll make the blend mode of the layer set for the head (just to stick with the same example) normal then put all my color adjustment layers inside a sub set with a blend mode of pass through. Then I can mask the CC layer set to only CC the eyes let's say, and I can mask the head layer set separately to blend it into the scene.
    I hope all that helps. :^)

  • BUG: Channel-based blend modes in FW CS5 & CS6

    I've observed problems with some of the blend modes in Fireworks CS5 and CS6. Several are definitely broken—most likely a by-product of changes introduced in CS5, which attempted to match some of Photoshop's blend mode behaviors (for Hue, Saturation, Color and Luminosity).
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/logged_in/bbowman_fwcs5.html
    The broken blend modes are the channel-based blend modes: Red, Green, and Blue. These have no counterpart in Photoshop, and yet no longer function properly.
    To illustrate the problem, I've created a simple test graphic: three white squares, three black squares, three bitmaps, and three colored squares (red, green, and blue).
    Now I'll add a black background to the canvas and apply a different channel-based blend mode—Red, Green, and Blue—to each object in its respective group. Here's the correct result, in Fireworks 8:
    As you can see, each object appears to be the same color as its applied blend mode. A white rectangle with a Red blend mode becomes red, with a Green blend mode becomes green, and with a Blue blend mode becomes blue.
    The way it works is this: The composite image adopts the selected channel of the object and combines it with the remaining channels of the canvas (or objects) below. For example, consider the white rectangle with a Red blend mode. The rectangle's Red channel (R:255) should be combined with the remaining channels of the canvas below (G:0,B:0) to create a composite with the appearance of red (R:255,G:0,B:0).
    Now here's the same graphic as it appears in both Fireworks CS5 and CS6:
    As you can see, there's no sense to this result. The Red blend mode produces Green, the Green blend mode produces Red, and the Blue blend mode produces invisibility. I simply cannot explain the outcome. These blend modes have been rendered useless and unintelligible in CS5 and CS6.
    The reason for my concern here is that, just over a year ago, I wrote a series of command scripts based on these blend modes as they existed Fireworks 8. Without these blend modes, my scripts cannot function.
    Assuming there are updates forthcoming for Fireworks CS6, I'm hoping there's a chance that this might still be fixed (if not for CS5, as well). Here's the bug report I've submitted regarding this issue:
    Product name: Fireworks
    Product Version: 11.1.0.205 (CS5.1)/12.0.0.236 (CS6)
    Product Language: English
    Your operating system: OS 10.6.8
    ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement: Channel-based blend modes (Red, Green, and Blue) are broken in Fireworks CS6 and CS5.
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Set canvas to black.
    2. Draw 3 white rectangles of any size.
    3. Set blend mode of 1st rectangle to Red, 2nd rectangle to Green, 3rd rectangle to Blue.
    Results: 1st rectangle appears Green (instead of Red). 2nd rectangle appears Red (instead of Green). 3rd rectangle becomes invisible (instead of Blue).
    Expected results: Each rectangle should appear to be the same color as its applied blend mode, as the composite adopts the selected channel of the object and combines it with the remaining channels of the canvas (or objects) below.
    In the preceding example, the black canvas contains no channel information (R:0,G:0,B:0) while the white rectangles contain information in all 3 channels (R:255,G:255,B:255). When a Red blend mode is applied to a white rectangle, the object's Red channel (R:255) should be combined with the remaining channels of the canvas below (G:0,B:0) to create a composite with the appearance of red (R:255,G:0,B:0).
    Most likely, this bug was introduced in CS5, which included modifications to Hue, Saturation, Color and Luminosity blend modes (to match Photoshop). For comparison, proper RGB blend mode behavior was observed in Fireworks 8.
    For more information about this bug, please see the following post: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1209542

    I haven't noticed changes in the way the blend modes work.
    It's possible you have a specific problem on your system, or you have an image with a color space that uses a different gamma than you're used to working in.  In the latter case, the math could be the same but if the representation of the colors is changed (which is what the color profile defines) you could get a radically different looking result.
    Maybe it would be useful to post some screen grabs, and ideally it would be great if you could post a copy of a PSD file that demonstrates the problem (i.e., looks different when opened in an older version of Photoshop than in Photoshop CS6).

  • 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:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV
    Figure 2a might be helpful in illustrating the gray axis.

  • How to use color picker or RGB values in the hue-saturation colorize adjustment

    I have a monochromatic adornment that I want to match to the color of a logo.  I am attempting to use the colorize option of a hue saturation adjustment layer to match color.  But I cannot quite get the colors to match.  I know the RGB values of the color, but how do these translate into the Hue/Sat/Lightness numbers of the adjustment dialog?  I tried using the correlating H/S/B values fro9m the color picker but that did not work.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks Zeno.  Creating a layer with the color and using the blend mode worked fine.  But as I stated in the original post, using the H/S/B (there is no HSL) values from the color picker does not work when you place them into the H/S/L values in the hue-adjustment layer with (or without) the colorize box checked.  But your first suggestion worked like a charm.  Thank you.

  • Hue/Saturation not working?

    I am working on a digital painting that was initially and grayscale, and I'm coloring it using hue/saturation, level, color balance, etc. adjustments. Until yesterday, this approach worked well, but when I go to adjust hue/saturation on any given layer it doesn't have any effect. This problem is not isolated to these works-- I also can't adjust it on other images including photographs. Can anyone help? I am in photoshop CS2 and in RGB mode, if that helps.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Blend mode - removing halo around edge of alpha??

    This is a complicated question so I'm hoping there are some real Pros here.
    I have a final image of my image to which I want to apply an alpha as a mask of an adjustment layer.
    The image and the alpha have come out of 3ds Max. The problem is that there is a halo around the edge of the mask. This is caused due to transparency at the border of the alpha. I don't know how to get around this.
    I was told that there may be a way to do it by dividing the alpha. I see that Photoshop CS5 has a divide blend mode. I don't have CS5. Does anyone know if this solves this issue? Or any other solutions
    I've attached the render passes that I'm working with and below is an image of the problem once the alpha is applied and the hue/saturation is altered.

    Thanks MTSTUNER,
    That's a very interesting approach and something I hadn't considered before. I'm getting slightly different results in the look though. Is there a way to fix the alpha and mask a straight Hue/Saturation layer instead? Do you know if the divide blend mode in CS5 would help?
