Photoshop Basics: Selective Color

by Melanie Crutchfield

Fine tuning is what makes the difference between a good print and a great print. But how do you fine-tune one section of your photograph without disturbing what's right in all the others?

The answer is to make a local change with a tool like Selective Color. With Selective Color, you can make changes to individual colors. Want to warm up those yellow fall leaves? Use Selective Color to add some red and magenta. Want to intensify a red wall without making everything else red, as well? Selective Color can do that, too!

Making such precise changes are easy once you know how. Just watch Photoshop Basics: Selective Color, and learn how!
