Making color changes using adjustment layers
Changing the color of an object in Adobe Photoshop is a pretty common practice, but
how do you make it look realistic, and how can you recover the image if you make a
mistake? What if you want to see three or four dif erent variations? All these tasks can be
completed easily and ei ciently, using adjustment layers. In this section, you'll change the
color of a jacket on a model, and then, using the same adjustment layer, change it again,
multiple times.
