Open the file or image you want to edit through
Photoshop. Do so
by typing Ctrl+O (or Command+O for Mac users) on the keyboard.
Open the hue/saturation adjustment. This can be
done in one of two ways. The first option is to go to
image>adjustments>hue/saturation (type in the shortcut Ctrl+U or
Command+U). Alternatively, you can just click on the "create adjustment
layer" icon. For current purposes, the second option is ideal.
Click on the “create adjustment layer” icon.
Wait for the adjustment window and layer to appear. This may take
a couple of seconds.
Drag the window towards your image. Drag the
window by clicking and holding it as you move your mouse.
Move the hue slider left or right. The adjustment
layer should be beside your image file. By moving the hue slider, you will be
able to see the gradual change of colours on your image.
Experiment with the saturation slider. Drag
the slider to the left for a lesser amount of colour on the picture or for a
duller grey image.
Drag the slider to the right for more vibrant colours
on the image.
Experiment with the lightness slider. Drag the
slider to the left for a darker image; lightness adjusts the amount of
black/white (in this case more black) on the image.
Drag the lightness slider to the right for a
lighter image.
Click “Colorize” on the Hue/Saturation adjustments
window. Then
play with the hue slider to look for the colour you want to apply on your
image.
Using the brush tool, paint over your image to
reveal some of the original colours of the image. Paint over your image by
unlinking and selecting the layer mask on your adjustment layer. Make sure also
that the colour you're using is black as you paint over the image and on the
layer mask.
You have learned the basics of how to adjust hues on an image using
Photoshop.
