Step 1: Open the Image in Photoshop
Begin by opening the image you want to work with in Photoshop. Go to File > Open and select the image file from your computer. The image will open on the Photoshop canvas.
Step 2: Select the Object
Use the selection tool of your choice to select the object whose color you want to change. This can be the Magic Wand tool, Quick Selection tool, or even the Pen tool for more complex selections. Take your time to carefully select the area around the object.
Step 3: Create a New Adjustment Layer
Once the object is selected, go to the Adjustments panel and click on the “Create new fill or adjustment layer” button. From the dropdown menu, choose the adjustment layer that suits your needs. For changing color, you can select “Hue/Saturation,” “Color Balance,” or “Selective Color.”
Step 4: Adjust the Color
After creating the adjustment layer, a properties panel will open. Here, you’ll find sliders and options to modify the color properties of the selected object. Experiment with the sliders to achieve the desired color change. You can adjust hue, saturation, lightness, or individual color channels depending on the chosen adjustment layer.
Step 5: Refine the Selection (Optional)
If needed, you can refine the selection by using tools like the Eraser or Brush tool. This can help you clean up any areas where the color change spilled over or refine the edges of the object for a more precise result.
Step 6: Save and Export
Once you’re satisfied with the color change, it’s time to save your work. Go to File > Save or Save As to preserve the original image with the color changes. You can export the image in various formats depending on your needs, such as JPEG, PNG, or GIF.
