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...

  • 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!

  • Gaussian blur and Colour Adjust Hue/Saturation cause freeze-up

    After using PS Elements 9 for a year, it has started to give me problems, and I can't find a fix for it online.  Choosing Gaussian Blur, or Color - Adjust Hue/Saturation causes PSE 9 to freeze up and stop responding.  This just started today, and I'm baffled.  Some of the other filters have stopped working, but they don't cause a freeze-up.  I've done a disk clean and defrag, but I haven't done anything different to my computer in a long time.  I can try to uninstall/reinstall, but I'd rather not if there's a simpler solution.  I'm on a Toshiba Satelite Notebook, i5 processor,  64-Bit OS Windows Home Premium.  I'd appreciate any insight into this issue.

      The editor saved prefs often get corrupted. You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts.
    Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. Release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Or hold down the keys whilst double clicking on PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe (in Program Files x86\Adobe)
    You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
    Click on Yes
    Then wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences.
     

  • Adjusting Hue/Saturation for selected parts of image?

    1. Is there a way to adjust the hue/saturation for the Reds, greens or Blues in an image like you can in PS?
    2. Is there a way to make a selection and adjust the Hue/Saturation for just that selected part of the image?
    Thanks.

  • 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 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
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 settings
    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Trash prefs.

  • Basic Hue Saturation Question

    Using Image > Adjustment > Hue Saturation
    I notice there are reds on both ends of the spectrum. How do you decide which to use?

    Consider the band as the cut and straightened representation of a radial gradient.
    So the exact extremes on either side are the same; +180˚ and -180˚ on a circle describe the same point.

  • Hue/Saturation color channel control in P Pro?

    After Effects has a Hue/Saturation effect that allows users to adjust hue/saturation within a pre-defined or user-defined color channel range. Is there a way in P Pro to do that?

    5.5 has color balance HLS preset in the effects tab, you should find that better.
    RGB curves may also work better with your color caste.
    It is often a case of using different correction effects or even multiple one.
    You can also try the Fast Color correction preset, move the centre point directly away from the yellow which in your case is towards the 18 minute point if the dial is 60 minutes.

  • 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...

  • Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer

    I am a Photoshop beginner working on a class project.  In the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer box, what number value will give me a "cool blue" for the Hue slider?  Thank you.

    "Cool blue" is as specific a color as "Yummy Purple". Wikipedia took a shot at defining cool blue here:
    Cobalt blue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    which it displays as this:
    and your sliders in Hue/Saturation set to:
    H20 S0 L34 will put you in the ballpark.
    I suggest that when it comes to color spec you familiarize yourself with the Pantone Matching System, for starters.
    Good luck.

  • Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer Bug in Photoshop CS6

    I noticed that most of the time I cannot copy a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer in Photoshop CS6. (In about a third of all cases it works, in all others I have to create a new Hue/Saturation adjustment layer).
    Hitting Command + J will cause my Mac to make an error sound.
    Option + delete also doesn't work half the time.
    Also: I cannot do a "Stamp visible" above a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. Hitting Command + Option + Shift + E will bring another error sound.
    I have to creat a new layer, and then create a stamp visible. But half the time this doesn't work, either. Hitting Command + Shift + N will give me another error sound.
    I have to create a different adjustment layer, then an empty layer, and only then I can create a "stamp visible".
    Only Hue/Saturation adjustment layers are affected by this - but it's a true hold-up.

    What Mac? What version of OSX? That aside, your issue sounds too exotic to be a genuine bug. Sounds more like some specific combination of settings is preventing this. could be anything from blending tricks to color profiles...
