Photoshop :: How To Change Colour In A Selection, Affecting All Layers?
Dec 25, 2007
I have this picture with 10 layers... normal, masks etc.. all sort of stuff..now, I want to change the colour of a selection of the picture, but I dont want to flatten it first... how to I do that? I tried a replace colour mask, but that seems to apply to only 1 layer ....
From my original picture, I have selected an area (which took about 1/2 hour to carefully select!) and have cut it out into a new layer. What I now want to do is save the file in this state, so that I can repeatedly change the colour of the selection to different colours, at different times, as I find new colours to use!
I use the layer effect Drop Shadow with several layers. Now I wanted to have another angle for a specific layer, but this affects all other layers, too! How can I edit the angle without affecting the other layers?
How do I see the object selected change colour dynamically as I adjust the colour sliders?
It seems the object only changes colour when I release the slider. But I want to see it dynamically change, so I can find the colour that works best without "hit or miss" - "trial and error" behaviour.
Yes... I'm aware some of you spend hours in colour programs creating a palette to work with. Good for you.
I'm just wanting to do it LIVE. Dynamically. In 2013. In Illustrator.
I normally right click on the layers tab then 'select pixels' but this time, it didn't work! I had a black detailed image and a pure white background, is there a way of selection one colour e.g. all the black at once.
I have been continually annoyed, when creating a vector mask-heavy document, with trying to select vector mask points by dragging a rectangle only to find that it instead selects a layer higher up which has a larger vector mask.
The only workaround is to manually select the points of my mask or to drag a rectangle from outside the canvas, meaning I have to zoom out or scroll to the edge - sometimes annoying if I am zoomed in quite far.
I know that the move tool can be set to automatically select a layer, depending on what part of the image is clicked, but why is there not an option to turn this off for vector editing?
I have a client that would like to include a light pink metallic pantone color in a design. They want a metallic color similar to an existing light pink solid coated pantone color already in the design (image lighter color in mane) but when I look at the pantone metallic color books the colors seem dark (img darker color in mane) and there does not seem to be a metallic match for the light pink color.
I am using PhotoShop CS5 and can’t select colours using the colour picker on different layers.This used to work but now I can only select the colours from the same layer?
I have this picture that i would like to make a stencil of.
I have got it down to 7 different colors but i was wanting to know if it is possible to select each color individually. Perhaps in each layer or something
Ive got around 100 images (all different) of white shoes.
For each image I have to change the shoes to 35 different colours.
I am going to do this by opening the image, selecting the area of the shoe, copying to a new layer, setting mode to colour and brushing in the colour.
Each image needs to be in the same 35 colours.
Now I could do this all manually but it will take an ages. Given it is the same 35 colours for each image needed is there an easier way, maybe an action, so that i can open the image select the area i need changing and the click and it saves the image in the 35 colours?
This may sound rude since ive just signed up but i installed photoshop 2 days ago and can't manage to get it working. (although i doubt i'd know how to do this anyway)
Would someone be able to change my hair colour at all? (im not sure how difficult it is).
You can see on the attached image that there is a green wave form between the words. When i imported the pic into photoshop for my website design project the pic was this way but as a newb i think have changed a setting somewhere and now the waveform is white like the writing. Even when i import the image again the waveform it is white in photoshop but not when i open it indipendately.
So I have a nice abstract background that is in tones of green. However I want it to be in tones of maroon. I have tried various filters etc etc to change the colour, however it seems to change the colour but some areas just go dark. What is the best way to achieve this affect and how do I do it?
With Auto-Select checked, and I drag and select all - PS selects all the layers on the canvas - very good so far... Now what these layers selected - how do I INVERT the SELECTION so that I can deleate everythign that is not needed anymore?
I have line art on a transparent layer. That is, it's not part of a white layer, but just black on nothing. I want to easily change that to a colour without changing the quality of the line. I know I can put a screen layer above it with a colour and that makes the black coloured, but it only shows up if I flatten it on to white. Otherwise, that's exactly the look I want, just not on a flattened white layer. I need to keep the line on the transparent layer so that I can paint under it, so I can't flatten it on to white. I also don't want to select the line and fill it as that significantly changes the quality of the line. I just want to change the colour of the line without chaning it's density, or any pixels.
I am trying to change the colour of a selection of an image - in this case a mug. So obviously, I want the mug and the mug only to change colour (and not the area inside the handle).
The mug is white meaning I cannot adjust the hue/saturation.
I recently turned down a job (foolish I know) because I didnt have a clue how to go about doing it.
I was asked by a shoe company if I was able to photoshop a load of images of white wedding shoes and change each one into the 35 colours they offer.
Attached is the sample they sent me which I've cobbled together showing one of the colours they do (green) and one of the white shoes that would need changing.
Now while Im not a photoshop pro, I have the basic grasp of selecting objects using the quick selection tool etc.
The two burning questions for me would be:
1) once I've selected the area of the shoe that needs changing, how to change the colour. I know I could "paint" the shoe with a colour and set it to say 50% transparent so you can see see the shadow etc but how do you change it and keep all of the shading etc?
2) The reflection - this seems a near impossible task. How to select just the bits needed?!
I would like to change the colour of a simple custom shape in photoshp elements 12. I have used paint can but this makes the edges of the shape very pixellated
Before I start looking for work on transforming PSD's into working websites, I would like to learn some of the functions and features of Photoshop Creative Suite 5.1.
I recently learned:
Ctrl + Win + Click on Desired Layer… To make a selection around the layer
Then I clicked on, "Refine Edge"… I was able to make a perfect selection around what I wanted using this feature. Very nice, by the way.
There were multiple layers, I merged the visible ones to make one layer. All of the stuff that makes up the banner, at the top of the page. My question is:
Can I make a selection around multiple layers, i.e. buttons, other pictures, etc.?
Side note question:
Does the document size have any effect on the overall size? Meaning: let's say that banner up top is 775 pixels across & maybe about 450 pixels tall… That's about the size of the image (the selected layer). The document size is laying on, is also 775 pixels across… But, 950 pixels tall. Will that document size have any effect on load time for a webpage?
people want to move multiple layers together. I know how to do that. I want to move a selection in two (or more) layers together. I'd also love to know how to use the free transform tool on a selection box in multiple layers.
