The Change Color effect adjusts the hue, lightness, and saturation of a range of colors.

This effect works with 8-bpc and 16-bpc color.

View

Corrected Layer shows the results of the Change Color effect. Color Correction Mask shows a grayscale matte that indicates the areas of the layer that will be changed. White areas in the color correction mask are changed the most, and dark areas are changed the least.

Hue Transform

The amount, in degrees, to adjust hue.

Lightness Transform

Positive values brighten the matched pixels; negative values darken them.

Saturation Transform

Positive values increase saturation of matched pixels (moving toward pure color); negative values decrease saturation of matched pixels (moving toward gray).

Color To Change

The central color in the range to be changed.

Matching Tolerance

How much colors can differ from Color To Change and still be matched.

Matching Softness

The amount that unmatched pixels are affected by the effect, in proportion to their similarity to Color To Change.

Match Colors

Determines the color space in which to compare colors to determine similarity. RGB compares colors in an RGB color space. Hue compares the hues of colors, ignoring saturation and brightness—so bright red and light pink match, for example. Chroma uses the two chrominance components to determine similarity, ignoring luminance (lightness).

Invert Color Correction Mask

Inverts the mask that determines which colors to affect.
