Tool to shine up or tone down color, in small part/ areal

Hi I can Blur, sharpen, smudge with the Blur tool and I can Dodge, burn and sponge with the Dodge tool -
but is there as easy way to shine up or tone down color, with a kind of pentool as easily ?
It's sometime smill part/area of a picture what need to get a littelbit of more color og to be tone down .
Using Photoshop cs5

I agree on the Sponge Tool, which is Saturate, or Desaturate, but often use Donald's suggestion with an Adjustment Layer (with a Layer Mask) and Hue, Saturation, Brightness. I like being able to go back and alter things later, and an Adjustment Layer allows me that control.
Good luck,
Hunt

Using the retouch tool, how do you make it change color? The old iPhoto one did, this one seems to be flesh-tone only, which is not how I need it to be. In old iPhoto, used the local color to blend, it was great.

I don't know which old version you're referring to but iPhoto 6's, 7's and 8's retouch tool works exactly the same as iPhoto 9's. The color of the enhance tool's area while applying is a light brown color but the retouch works on any color using the surrounding colors as a basis.

Feature request -- "seamless tones and colors" to content aware move tool

The Content Aware Move Tool works pretty doggone well, except that differences in brightness or tones in the selection's new position frequently fail to match. For instance, moving a bird from near the top of the frame, where the sky is lighter blue, to nearer the horizon in the middle of the frame, where the sky is deeper blue, reveals a huge difference in the sky color. In the past, I would put the selection on a new layer, clone out the bird's original location, then use the Auto Blend Layers>stack images>seamless tones and colors to match things up.
Is there any way of integrating that "seamless tones and colors" into the new move tool? Or, barring that, have some way of selecting "move to new layer" when using the Content Aware Move Tool, so that after the move, one could merge the layers using the Auto Blend function?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Thanks for the feedback. We will evaluate the customer feedback and consider some of the requests for a future version of Photoshop. I agree with Pierre that posting your request to the feedback link may allow it to be heard better as this is primarily a forum for problems with the Photoshop CS6 beta.

Can you turn down color saturation?

As questioned in the subject: can you turn down color saturation in osx?
I have bought an external monitor for my Macbook, which i run trough the mini-dvi out. The screen is a nice 24" inch, but does not have an option to turn down color saturation. The colors are a bit to harsh, and i really want to turn the colors down a few notches, especially the reds. But in the built in osx calibration tool, there is not option to "turn down", the colors. I know there is a "grayscale" option in the universal access menu, but there is no slider to make a custom adjustement.
So do any of you have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Ok. I am not able to send back my display, so now im stuck with a wide gamut screen. I do not want to just throw it out. There must be some way, a third-party program maybe, that can tweak the way osx shows color. I just want to desaturate the image a little, i shoud not be very difficult, but after hours of searching on google i cant find anything.
Is there a program with extended calibration features, compared to the ones system preferences?
Thanks in advance!

Illustrator CC - Tools not allowing access to drop-down options

Illustrator CC - Tools not allowing access to drop-down options
For example, I want to change the shape from rectangle to an oval, the press and hold on the rectangle shape (by default) will not give access to other shape options. Or, for another example, the text tool won't allow access to type on path options.
Can anyone help me out on this? I running a very new PC and Illustrator CC (latest copy).
Thanks,
BK

BK,
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Could not use color replacement tool because it only works in full color mode: Elements 11

I have a PSD file open and I added a new layer via the copy command. I have added a Layer Mask to the new layer and I'm trying to use the Brush Tool with black forground to cover part of the new layer. I'm following an online tutorial step by step, but when I try to use the Brush Tool I get "could not use color replacement tool because it only works in full color mode". The Image>Mode is set to RGB. I'm stuck!

First, show the tools optiond in the bottom of the screen (shortcut F4)
Now look at which of the three options you can select, brush, impressionist brush or replacement tool. I suspect you have to select the brush.
Edit:
The reason of the message is that when you are painting on a mask you are in greyscale mode for the mask. For instance, if you paste a coloured layer into a mask, it will be converted to greyscale.

The paint bucket tool is not working properly. The colors does not change, any suggestion?

Maybe on the wrong layer.
It would be more beneficial if you capture your screen with the layers panel open and any layers that are collapsed, expand them.

Babowa is correct; there is no way to restore the arrows. If you want to step up and down a list, try the keyboard's arrow keys.

Assign certain color to certain part of body CS3 !

Dear Friends !!
Here is a little challenging question for some , it might be nothing to some Pros , but to us ordinary editors means a lot !
Let's say I have a chroma (Green screen) footage , which contain a simple girl standing in front of green screen acting .
She is wearing red shirt , blue pants and black shoes in front of a green screen with decent lighting and make up.
Now , even though she put good amount of make up on her face, but I still don't like the tone or color of her skin, her red shirt is red but not a rich red color as well as her blue pants is not rich blue, I mean a good blue or a nice blue !
Is there any way to assign certain colors to certain part of her body, I mean let's say her face or skin tone, I wanna have it a little more natural (just the skin) I don't wanna change the color of her hair or clothing !
and then goto hair and make the hair look more black , without touching her face and her clothing color and ect !

Either RGB Curves (my personal preference for color correcting) or the Three-Way Color Corrector will allow you to isolate specific luminance (brightness) and chrominance (color) ranges to a certain degree, so that you can affect only the values that you want to adjust. It may take multiple copies of an effect, each working on certain colors or ranges of colors, to get the output you want, but it should be doable.
Note that this will take a lot of tweaking and work, but if you've never experimented with color correction before, there's no time like the present!

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.
