Color Editing Like in Capture One

[Friedster]

Forgive me if this answer is obvious, but I've been searching and searching and can't seem to find a solution. One of the things I love about Capture One is the advanced color editor, where I can take a dropper, select a color on the image and change the hue, saturation, lightness for anywhere that color appears.

I know I can do something similar using the selective color adjustment layer, but it's a little manual given that I have to experiment to alter the colors, rather than use a dropper tool. Is there an easier way to do this that I'm missing? Thanks so much!

If you go to Select - Select Sampled Colour:

Click to select the colour you want to modify. You can adjust the tolerance and then apply an adjustment layer (HSL for example).

Hope this helps.

Use an HSL adjustment layer. With the panel open, choose one of the 6 color circles (but not the multi-colored circle on the left, which is the “master”). With the color circle chosen, you can click on the Picker button and then click on a specific color in the image. The hue, saturation, and luminosity sliders will only apply to your clicked-upon color. Also note that you can change the selected color range by moving the nodes on the color wheel to apply to different ranges, and to feather the selected range more or less.

Here is a link to a YouTube video from Dave Straker’s channel (InAffinity) that discusses the HSL panel. It is from Winter 2018, but will show you the basics.

@smadell this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!
