keeping the original image information intact.
Making color changes using adjustment layers
Changing the color of an object in Adobe Photoshop is 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
different variations? All these tasks can be completed easily and efficiently 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.
1 Choose File > Browse in Bridge to open Adobe Bridge.
2 Navigate to the ps10lessons folder inside the pslessons folder you have created on your computer and
double-click ps1001.psd to open it in Photoshop. An image of a girl wearing a blue jacket appears.
You will take the original jacket and change the color of it. You will also add a pattern to the jacket, us-
ing an adjustment layer.

3 Choose File > Save As. In the File name text field, type ps1001_work , and then navigate to the ps10les-
sons folder. Choose Photoshop from the format drop-down menu and click Save.
The first thing that you will make is a selection with the Quick Selection tool.
4 Select the Quick Selection tool ( ), then click and drag the jacket. If you miss some of the jacket, just
paint a stroke over it to add it to the selection. If your selection goes too far, press and hold the Alt
(Windows) or Option (Mac OS) key and click the part of the selection that you want to deactivate.
You can also increase or decrease your Quick Selection tool size by pressing the [ (left bracket) or ]
(right bracket) keys.
