to paint this effect onto specific areas of your image.You can use the Advanced Color (hue, saturation, and brightness) tool to adjust overall colors in an image or each color individually. The advanced tools can subtly fine-tune and enhance colors, or completely change individual colors in an image.
Advanced Color is useful for changing a single color in an image. If you have an image with a yellow car, you can use the Saturation tab to saturate the yellow, or use the Brightness tab to brighten the yellow. In the Hue tab, you can change the color of the car from yellow to pink.
You can save your settings as a preset for future use.
If you have an image of a yellow car with a yellow building in the background, you can change just the car by using the Selections tool. Select the car using the Selections tool and then apply your color adjustments.
