Paint the jacket with the Quick Selection tool to make a selection.
5
If the Layers panel is not visible, choose Window > Layers.
6
Click and hold the Create new fill or adjustment layer button ( ) at the bottom of the Layers panel.
7
Select Hue/Saturation from the pop-up menu. The Properties panel appears with the Hue/Saturation op-
tions visible.
Hue refers to the color. By changing the hue, you can essentially change the color of an object without
taking away any of the shading properties, which are normally created from the neutral gray value.
8
Select the Colorize check box and click and drag the Hue slider to the right to about the 70 point, or
type
70
in the Hue text field.
In the next step, you will bring the saturation down a bit so the green you are creating is less bright.
9
Click and drag the Saturation slider to the left to about the 20 point, or type
20
into the Saturation text
field.
Change the color and saturation using the Hue/Saturation sliders.
The jacket is now green, but your selection might not be as accurate as you would like. In the next sec-
tion, you will use your painting tools to refine the mask attached to the adjustment layer. A benefit of
adjustment layers is that you can use them to paint masks at any point in the process to modify your se-
lection.
