There are times when you may find yourself needing to recolor part of an image in Photoshop. You may have an image that is mostly one color, but there is a small section that you would like to change.
Luckily, Photoshop makes it easy to change the color of any part of an image. In this article, we will show you how to recolor part of an image in Photoshop.
The first thing you will need to do is open your image in Photoshop. Once your image is open, create a new layer.
To do this, go to the “Layer” menu and select “New Layer”. A new layer will appear on top of your image.
Next, use the paint bucket tool to fill the new layer with the color you want to use. To select the paint bucket tool, go to the “Tools” menu and select “Paint Bucket Tool”.
Then, click on the new layer to select it and click on the color you want to use. The new layer will now be filled with that color.
Warning: Do not use the “Recolor” tool in Photoshop to change the color of part of an image. This tool is designed for changing the overall color of an image, not for selectively changing colors. If you use the “Recolor” tool to change the color of part of an image, the result will be a distorted mess.
Now, go back to the “Layer” menu and select “Create Clipping Mask”. This will make it so that only the area within the new layer will be affected by the color change. If you want to change the color of multiple areas, simply create a new layer for each area and repeat this process.
Finally, once you are happy with your changes, go to the “File” menu and select “Save As”. This will save your changes as a new file so you don’t overwrite your original image.
