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.

Is there any software for iTunes that allows the user to adjust tint, color and hue?

I would like to view my videos with the ability to fine tune color (hue, tint and color) for playback, Any one know a easy quick fix?

Thank You Keith for responding. I am asware of the options in the drop down list in iTunes "Show in Finder" to use OT and its options to adjust tint, color, contrast etc, etc., I was more interested if the same thing can be can done in iTunes it's self? Do you know of a plugin or a simple script that might help me? ( I do not know apple script very well but if it is well written i can fallow instructions pretty good.)

Replacement - Hue Saturation and lightness do not show

I am trying to replace color - However the Replace Color dialog box does not show the replacement panel containing Hue Saturation and Lightness. I am working on a psd file set as RGB. How do I get the Replacement panel to show?

Are you using the Color Replacement TOOL (from the toolbar) but thinking of the Replace Color COMMAND (from Image>Adjustments>Replace Color)?
The tool does not have a dialog box but the command does. The similarity of the tool and command names is unfortunate and has surely misled a lot of users.

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.

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.

Replace Color - selected areas turn gray instead of desired sample color. HELP?!

Hi, I am using Photoshop CS3 and have a question regarding "replace color."
First...here are the steps I enacted prior to trying to use the 'replace color' function:
1. In RGB Mode - - Selected and filled a shape a color.
2. Ran the selected object through Alien Skin/Impact "Chrome" function.
3. Selected 'adjustments/desaturate.' Did this so that I could then go to Adjustments/color balance..... and then change the entire color of the object to a predominantly red chrome looking scheme.
4. After giving the object a 'chrome' appearance, I wanted to go into the 'white' hilite areas of the object and sample them - and then change them to a bright red color....this is where the 'REPLACE COLOR' function comes in.
5. So I use the color sample eye dropper within 'REPLACE COLOR' and select the white areas I want to change to red...as the 'selection color.'
6. Then, I click down in the lower color box (result color) and sample a color that I want to change the white hilite areas to...in this case, red.
7. This is where the problem occurs - - even though I chose a result color of red...the white areas turn to grayscale within my colored object...so just those areas are gray!!! What the heck??!!
So... how can I desaturate a selected object... then recolor it using 'Color Balance'.... and then replace colors and have the replaced colors actually be a color instead of a gray color?
My file is in RGB mode and everything else is in COLOR.... yet I cannot replace areas within this colored graphic with other colors...it just keeps putting gray tones into the object.
HELP??
Thanks.

Hi Curt - - this occurs even if I select a color within the same file... something about desaturating the file and then adding color back into it...I can't get it to replace color after that.

REPLACE COLOR only allows graytones for replacement color

Hello,
I am trying to use the REPLACE COLOR command to change a white sky to a blue sky. I am running Photoshop CS on Windows XP system. Photoshop provides two descriptions on how to use the REPLACE COLOR command and I have tried both. Howwever, for either one, when I attempt to set the color that will be used to replace the original color, the color picker always "previews" and uses a graytone rendition, not the tone I actually attempt to set. When I wag the mouse over the entire color picker swatch, the preview alway renders a graytone. If I instead type in a known 6-hex digit color identifier I still get a graytone rendition, not the actual
color.
I am trying to change the color for only a portion of the image, so I'm using the rectangular marquee to selection the portion I want to change.
For completeness, here is a list of steps I'm performing-
1)In the Layers palette, select the layer containing the color you want to replace.
2)Use the rectangular marquee to select only a specific area in the image you wish to change.
3)Choose Image > Adjustments > Replace Color.
4)In the Replace Color dialog box, make sure Selection is selected under the preview window.
4)In the image, click the color you want to change.
5)Double-click the Result swatch and use the Color Picker to select the replacement color and click OK.
Any clues what I'm doing wrong or what I may hav set wrong?
Thanks,
Ron Glos

Replace color will not work for white or black, as there is no color. There was a post about a month ago with similar topic, with some solutions. Sorry can't remember how to get there, try search with this in mind.

Replace Color Command Saturation Algorithm

For the Replace Color Command (not the Replace Color Tool), the meaning of the Saturation slider is clear only when the slider value is negative (reducing saturation). In that case the slider reading is the percent by which the (H-L) gap is to be reduced, where H and L are the highest and lowest RGB channel values. A reading of -100 means the gap is to be completely closed. Whatever the percentage closure, it is effected by decreasing H and increasing L in equal increments proportional to the slider setting.
When the saturation slider is set to a positive number (increasing saturation), however, the meaning is not easily unearthed. The incremental changes in H and L, although still equal and opposite in algebraic sign, are now a non-linear function of the slider and the initial H and L values, but I have not been able to nail it.
BTW, The middle RGB channel plays no role in either case. With H and L set, it is adjusted to keep hue constant.
Any help out there? Gernot? Anybody?

Bump---with apologies. First time ever (honest). Apart from staving off the post's oblivion, I want to verify just where in the ladder a bump jumps.

What video effect for color desaturation? (e.g. Hue/Saturation in Photoshop)

Hi all,
What is the Premiere equivalent of the HUE/SATURATION adjustment layer found i Photoshop ? I am trying to slightly desaturate (about -53%) my movie to give it a more gritty look. I could easily get the look I wanted in Photoshpo by going to NEW ADJUSTMENT LAYER-->HUE/SATURATION.
Is there a similar approach for Premiere? In the Video effects folder somewhere? Thanks!

Use the "Fast Color Corrector and "Saturation".

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.

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.

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.

Using hue/saturation adjustment layer to match color from another image?

How can I use a hue/saturation adjustment layer on image 'A' so that it matches the color of image 'B' please?

Depends, John.
If you're able to create a reasonable selection via Color Range, feathered masking, etc, then by matching one specific color, you'll also be correcting for that entire range of hue. It might have been needed anyway...or you use a color filter to correct the whole image, if it's needed.
As we all know, each image presents its own specific challenges and solutions.

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.
