Changing color of eyeglasses

[Josie]

How would I change the color of these eye glasses or is it just the same process as before?

Thanks

Hi Josie,

This would be the same process mentioned in previous threads you have made, you should just need to select the glasses using a marquee selection tool if and then apply a HSL filter to the selection and adjust the filter to get the colours you want.

I’ve rasteurized the image, did a selection around the image and added HSL slider and it’s still not working to change the eyeglasses color.

Thanks

which app are you using? in AD it should be very easy to recolour...

Do you have the right layer selected?

As long as the background is transparent, I would just use a color overlay under FX.

[Josie]

Would you show me a video how to do this?

I suggest using the Recolor adjustment layer first, and then apply the HSL adjustment above it.

With Recolor, you would first want to turn up the lightness and then adjust the color. Then the HSL adjustment will allow you to make additional changes, such as further changes to Lightness/Hue/Saturation.

I got it, now how do I make this a brighter orange?

Thanks

[Corgi]

You can add another HSL adjustment to the top of the layer stack, and make changes to saturation and lightness. I also changed the Hue a bit in the example below:

I got the color of the glasses now my other dilemma is how do I put the hat behind the glasses without the hat changing color to all orange with the recolor and the HSL filters applied?

Thanks

I'm not really sure what you're going for. What color(s) are the hat and moustache supposed to be? It would help if you showed the current layer stack, or provide the actual .afphoto file (although I don't have v2 yet since I'm waiting for the MSI package).

I believe that there are several ways to isolate the adjustments to just the eyeglass layer. You could clip them into the eyeglass layer itself so that they affect just the glasses. You could also select the eyeglass layer and the adjustment layers and group them together (Control-G or Command-G). Alternatively, if you're happy with the way the other elements of the image look, you could bring those layers to the top of the stack so that the adjustments are underneath the glasses and the adjustments to the glasses.

You might find this video tutorial helpful in figuring out how to manage the adjustment layers.

Trying to make it look like this photo

Thanks

[Corgi]

I'm not seeing any problem; it looks like the elements you have so far are the proper color, although I can't tell if the glasses are in front of the hat or not, because there is presently no overlap. 

[Josie]

 

I want this looking a]exactly like the photo with the hat behind the glasses but every time I do that it changes to all orange because of the recolor filter and the HSL filter.

‘So could you please show me how to do that without the hat changing color on me all the time

Thanks

[Corgi]

Please take a screenshot of the Layers panel.

Simply drag the Adjustment Layer (the yellow) on the Layer with the glasses to nest it to it. So it will only affect the glasses and nothing else.

And afterwards (after what @iconoclastsuggests above), you may want to drag the glasses layer on top of the whole group (...since in the shown T-Shirt image, the glasses are arranged slightly on top of the hat part).
