How to change colors in a photo
- Choose or drop a photo. The Color mixer opens.
- Pick a color band: red, orange, yellow, green, aqua, blue, purple or magenta.
- Move Hue to shift it, Saturation to strengthen or mute it, and Luminance to lighten or darken it. Save from Export.
Good to know
- Skin tones live mostly in the orange band. Small changes there affect every face in the photo.
- Lowering Blue luminance is the quickest way to dramatic skies.
- Changes blend smoothly between neighbouring bands, so there are no hard edges.
Questions
Can I change a red car to blue?
You can shift its hue a long way, but other reds in the photo move with it, and very large shifts can look unnatural.
Does it affect gray and white areas?
No. Neutral areas have no color to shift, so they stay as they are.
What do hue, saturation and luminance mean?
Hue is which color it is, saturation is how strong it is, and luminance is how light or dark it is.
