It’s easy to separate a layer color in Photoshop- simply click on the layer you want to adjust in the Layers panel, then click on the “Edit” button at the top of the workspace. Select “Split Layer” from the drop-down menu that appears.
A new window will open where you can choose how to split the layer color. Choose “By Brightness” and then click “OK.”
Now, go to the “Image” menu at the top of the workspace and select “Adjustments.” Choose “Brightness/Contrast” from the drop-down menu.
In the new window that opens, move the Brightness slider to the left until you see the color start to separate. You can also adjust the Contrast slider to further refine the separation.
If you are working with a layer in Photoshop that contains a color, you may want to separate the layer into its component colors. This can be useful if you want to adjust the colors independently, or if you want to use the layer as a mask for another layer.
To separate a layer into its component colors, select the layer in the Layers panel and choose Layer > New > Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation. In the New Layer dialog box, name the layer and click OK.
In the Hue/Saturation dialog box, check the Colorize option. Use the Hue slider to change the overall color of the layer, and use the Saturation and Lightness sliders to fine-tune the color. When you are finished, click OK.
You will now see that your layer has been separated into its component colors. You can adjust each color independently by double-clicking on its layer in the Layers panel.
Once you’re happy with the results, click “OK” to close the window. Your layer color is now separated!
