Photoshop :: Color Matching Similar Photos
Apr 27, 2005
I used the FAQ section but nothing seemed to come up.
Basically I have 3 digital photos that are part of a panorama. After I load them into PS, there is a slight color imbalance between each of them, eg the sky in one is a bit more yellow looking than one of the others. So the question is, is there an easy way to select a photo and "color balance" it to match another, similar, image?
I'm using PS v7. I've heard that CS has Image-Adjustments-Match Color.

I am trying to adjust the color levels between two photos such that a certain object in both photos has the same color in both images. I'll try and explain more with an example...
I've got two images taken under similar lighting conditions with the same camera and settings that came out with slightly different colors. There is a reference object in each photo that should match (in this case, a grey square of a paint sample). I'd like to adjust the color of the square in photo 2 so that it matches the square in photo 1, with the adjustments applied to the entirety of photo 2.

how to process a batch of similar photos with just a few mouse clicks? mainly, "crop", exposure, sharpening....mostly telephoto shots of surfers, where I have the surfer in center, but too far away (crop)....low contrast shots during fog or evening hours (contrast) and other functions on similarly exposed shots....sometimes up to several hundred (3fps motor drive) * my m.o., is to fill up the memory card approx 300 shots...then come home and process each file (the good ones) the files come into my mac mini into "iphotos".can I make them come into "bridge" PS cs4??

I asked this in the Elements forum with no resoultion. If it can be done I may have to go out and buy the full photoshop. Background:I have a group of photos that are very similar. They are posed graduation photos where the camera and background do not move. Only the subject , who wear very similar robes, changes. The exposure of my D-70 with a bounced flash wound up being eratic with some good subject expressions being captured under existing light conditions and dramatically underexposed because the flash didn't fire (took the pixs too fast and the flash didn't recharge fast enough). The question: Is there a way in photoshop to take a group of very similar photos that vary in exposure, color tone, etc.,then select one master photo from the group that has the exposure, color tone, etc. that I want,and then batch process all the photographs so that all of the photos are changed to match the exposure, color tone, etc. of the master photo I picked??? Another way of saying it, How do I make the common background of each photos above identical in one step (or as few as I can)?

I have a solid green rectangle.
I would like to create several similar green rectangles at various levels of transparency that will perfectly match the color of the solid green rectangle. Is there an easy way to do this?
I have tried matching it by eye, and can get very close:
the original solid green rectangle is R:135 G: 174 B: 155
after making a copy of the solid green rectangle, say, 90% transparent, I can play with Hue/Saturation to get around R:136 G:175 B: 154, according to the eyedropper. But I don't see any way of fine tuning the RGB/HSB/etc. absolute values in the transparent version.

How to edit a whole group of shots in CS4. Like 300 surfing shots at basically the same aperture, lens magnification...time of day. Of course, toss a bunch that have no punch...leaves several hundred files to be edited. At 3 frames per second, I am overwhelmed (but secretly loving my new Canon sports camera)
Most of my shots the surfer is "dead center" and in focus..but too far removed at 400mm even! So I painstakingly crop it up a bunch...surfers like to see their faces....is that me? or is that Kelly Slater! Then a "ton" of adjustments to each file....but....mostly the exact same edits?
Here is an edited surf photo...done, one by one.

I was asked to take the group photo, cut out the black girl, and insert the young man. See all images below and my results. the only thing I'm not happy with is the young man was better lit than the group one. I was playing around with the controls of the young man to bring his tone more in line with the group (hue; saturation; color levels; etc.) and I just could not figure it out.
Â
what I can do to get the young man to match up tone wise with the group? Or vice versa, even?

I often do website images for developers. The problem i am having is matching the web color from a color pick in ps. I have used a method where s i take a screen shot on my MAC and then pull that into PS cs5 (I have cs6 also) and pick. Then i export for web (png or jpeg).
Â
This method gets me inconsistent results.

Can photos with mismatched hues be corrected with P&GD6? Putting together a 'family photo' but family members are far-flung, so can't be in one place, so I have received photos of everyone. I want to trim and combine photos into one picture, but skin tones do not match. They were take under varying light conditions. (clothing colors aren't important)

Let's say I have two pictures. The first one is a RAW file and the second is the same file, but a flat PSD with some color and contrast moves done to it.
What I want to do is to (of course start with processing the RAW file so I have a PSD/tiff) and then I would like to match the colors to 100%.
Usually I would do this by eye, but I would like to find out if there's any quicker way to do it? I started to look in to the color sampler tool to get the different values.
Preferably I would also like to have all these color and contrast moves in layers if possible. So that I can adjust them if I want.
---------------------------------
The second question is basically the same but this time the reference photo is a different picture.

I have been working on a gag project that involves placing different co-worker heads on different bodies. However, I have been having some difficulty matching the skin tones. I thought it would simply be a matter of using the eye-dropper tool, getting some average values on the face and body, then using an adjustment layer grouped to the face layer to adjust the color.
However, my results are often not even close. Is there a particular way I'm supposed to be adjusting the color?

I travel around the country and use Photoshop for various projects. I then SAVE AS a TIFF file to my flash drive and take the flash drive to an office superstore (OfficeMax, Staples, Kinkos,etc.) to print on their color printers. I run into a variety of printers, but mostly Xerox DocuColor 250's or Docucolor 12's.
How can I set my Photoshop so that the colors that print on these Docucolor printers are closer to what I see on my screen? I'm already creating the documents in 300DPI, CYMK-8 mode to be as close to the printer as possible.

I have an image of a dog on a white background. I've tried several methods to remove the white background, but the dog is a beagle and has some white fur. There are places where it is almost indistinguishable where the fir ends and the background begins (on his neck). What is the best method to remove the background?
While I've used Photoshop a lot, I am not formally trained, so need input on what tolerance levels, etc. should probably be. I've inserted the image. Haven't purchased it yet because I'm not confident I'm going to be able to remove the background.

how do you get similar color for objects in different pictures.
Â
I have a prodject that i'm working on and i need to edit several images at once (preferabley) so that they are the same color. They are wooden cupboards and i need all the wood looking the same colour. In light room you can edit a group of images at the same time hence the colours are the same . Is this possible in Elements ? If so how do i do this ?
Â
I have tried duplicating layers and it just replaces the whole image, it seems to work using levels layers but not the other layers ... I have 30 more images to do and would ideally not like to adjust all the images manually ? I dont mind doing minor tweaks. Essentially all the images where taken with the same camera and lighting and lens's ...

When doing a skin for a forum, I didn't use the web colors palette, and after I had sliced the whole thing up and went to export to web as a JPEG, it looked like that... horrifying, ugh. Thing is, when I do a Save As and save as a JPEG, it retains the original colors.
Is this just something I can't change in PS/ImageReady, or can I somehow change the save for web color space it uses? I'd really like to use the original colors, steel just doesn't fly with aqua.

Is there an easy way of setting matching Color Profiles on a Mac ?, To simply ... Loading an Image into default Mac App "Preview", shows different to the Image when loaded into Photoshop. Is there a simple way of making the Color Profile the same ?
Â
However there might be a slight problem, the Thumb preview (in App Preview) shows different to the Image showing. This changes differing on the dependance of Photoshop's Embedded Color Profile.

I'm working with 2 pictures of people. My goal is to replace the face-parts (lips, eyes etc.) with each other.
So person 1 will get the mouth of person 2, and backwards. pretty simple, as all I have to do is match the skin color, and from now - piece of cake. (I actually said piece of cake :P )
So, what I normally use are only 2 tools: Hue/Saturation, and Color Balance.
Problem is - it's still pretty difficult to get perfect results. and beyond that, sometimes I just can't manage to get to even a normal solution. so it's very frustrating.
My question is: What are all the tools that are used to match colors?
(Until now, what I basically did is: take the slider, move left - check if better. if not: move right - check if better, if not: return to center. like this with each slider of the 2 tools I mentioned above. doesn't sound very professional, huh?)
P.S. A reference to even a bunch of tutorials and guides about coloring, would mean THE WORLD to me, as around 60% of my Photoshop are coloring and stuff like that.

I have a solid color rectangle on a layer.
I would like to create several similar rectangles on different layers with different opacity levels (i.e. 90%/75%/50% etc), that will match the solid color rectangle exactly, when they are against a white background.
I used Hue/Saturation on the transparent rectangles to approximate the solid color, but the eyedropper shows that I am a of couple values off. Is there a way to accurately match these colors exactly?

I want to select a specific color from within the image, and change all similar colors within that image to a different color. In other words, after using the Color Picker Tool to select a color from the image, I want to take the selected color (and everything in the image that is equal to or similar in color), and change them all to a different color.
I tried using the Path's Tool to create an outline in the image, and changing colors that way, but it changes all the other colors in the selection I don't want to change. I just want to change all colors in the image/selection that are equal to or similar to the selected color. How do I do this?

I have two images, taken in the same location. Because of slight changes to camera position or other things, they're not the same. The color and brightness are slightly off.
How can I match them? I'm especially concerned about the color.

Anyways, a client has requested a logo in a PMS color. I know where the color swatch libraries are, but there is no library named PMS, there are tons of Pantone ones for coated, uncoated, ect.
Is there a search function to the pantone colors? They specified "PMS 192 Red". Says nothing of coated or whatever I just want to know how on earth do I find that actual color?

Reference tutorial=> Remove Photo Backgrounds with the Background Eraser {URL]
a) I follow the tutorial above to remove backgrounds. However, the background has similar color than picture (in this case "white" - picture attached - FIG_2). So, when I use "background eraser" tool, it erase part of my picture as well. So, how to handle it properly?
b) The tutorial was usefull to other image that has different backgound color (FIG_3 attached). But using other software (Gimp) I could just take the transparency index (color=> color to alfa) with "one click" without the request of erase background manually. So, is there any similar way to do it easily in Paint Shop?

An image I imported contains an area with quite a few different, yet very similar colors (different shades of the same red). I want to change the complete area to one single red tone. What's the most appropriate approach to this? Especially without loosing the antialiasing at the edges that surround the area.

I've been trying to work on my color matching skills (which are poor). The long term goal is to be able to match a sample texture's color with other texture samples that have been de-saturated then re-colored to match the original so that they can blend in and out of each other easily.
I'm using the attached image as a sample, then de-saturating it and trying to get the same color in the de-saturated image. I've tried using different mix modes, different base colors, playing with levels, colorize, and other plug ins - but I can never get quite the same color across the image. Its either too brown, too red, too yellow, etc. I was wondering what methods would be used to get a close to exact result - and for that matter, if it is even possible to color match only using 1 base color as a overlay (or other mix type)?

I have a set of photos, taken a while back. They're closeups of the stages of a craft process, and not easily reshootable.
I was with the craft, I didn't notice that the day was passing, and that the light I was shooting with was varying, and I didn't do a manual white balance for each shot.
Each photo on its own looks "OK", but when I tried a montage, the white balance differences between the shots was UGLY.
So - I don't need accurately calibrated shots, but I'd like the colorspace of all the photos to be as similar as possible, so that identical physical objects have the same in-image colors.
There are several areas in the photos that are of the same (physical) item that could be used to drive a calibration/matching process, but they're not white/gray/black.
So - how do I match up the colors? I've tried to botch at it by hand editing curves but it was tedious and error prone.

Context - I am brand new to the graphic design business and working with a friend to create a logo for their new business. Â The logo will be used for web and print purposes.
I am having an issue where the colors used while in the CorelDraw application are not matching the exported files or what comes off the printer.  Printer - HP officejet 6500 - using this for a checkpoint only, will not use for actual printing
I created the logo using CMYK color palette and used the default settings in Corel as far as color management goes...It is U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2. Â The application is still in an "out of the box" state as I am too new to know how to change anything.
So, that said...the image looks great in the application. Â I exported several proof files for my friend, but see now that I used RGB for the export. Â He loves the design and I am ready to deliver his files. Â Those RGB files "look" fine when opened as jpeg or png, but when printed they are completely different.
I've read that it is important to deliver CMYK files as well as RGB files. Â So, I attempted to export with that color style thinking it might fix that problem, since I created the image using that palette. Â When I try to export using CMYK though, the color goes absolutely whacko. Â Viewing on the computer, the muted green (20.0.60.20) turns into a neon green...and it prints that way as well.
I know computer monitors have variations, but if I see it in the application one way, viewing the exported file on the same computer monitor shouldn't pose an issue.
