Using a specific color in adjustment layer

[arikw]

Is there a way to define an  adjustment layer with a specific color ( using rgb or hsl or cmyk)?

From the Layer menu use Layer -> New Fill layer and fill that with the specific color.

Hi 

I'm looking for a way to recolor a specific area of the picture with a specific color which I would like to define using RGB parameters... (or HSL)

I couldn't find a way to do it with fill color layer

But you can. Just define the color of the Fill Layer as you like, which can of course be done using RGB or HSL values with the Context Toolbar or the Color Panel. Then play around with the Blend Mode of the Fill Layer. Especially try "Color" here. If you want to limit the effect to a specific area of the image, use a Mask.

A different approach would be to use the Paint Brush Tool for this. Select the Paint Brush Tool, set its color to your needs, create a new Pixel Layer, set its Blend Mode to Color and then paint on the new Pixel Layer over the area that you want to recolor. Again, you can play around with the other Blend Modes if you want a slightly different effect. If the effect is too strong, lower the opacity of the Pixel Layer.

If you don't want to use a separate Pixel Layer for your brush, you can also directly paint on the original image layer. In order for this to work, you need to change the Blend Mode of the Paint Brush Tool itself, which can be done in the Context Toolbar. The disadvantage of this approach is that it's a destructive one, meaning that you can't change the way your brush blends with the image afterwards.

For recoloring, there's also the Recolor Adjustment. Unfortunately, it doesn't allow for specific RGB or HSL values.

I'm going to follow your very specific instructions...
