Struggling with color replacement in your digital images? This article guides you through the process of how to replace color in Photoshop, enabling you to breathe new life into your images and achieve the aesthetic you desire.

Step 1. Access the ‘Hue/Saturation’ Adjustment Panel

To begin, open the image you want to edit in Photoshop. Go to the menu bar at the top of the screen, click on ‘Image’, then ‘Adjustments’, and finally ‘Hue/Saturation’. This will bring up the ‘Hue/Saturation’ adjustment panel.

Step 4. Fine-Tune the Color Replacement

To refine the color replacement, adjust the ‘Fuzziness’ slider. This will control the range of colors that will be replaced. A lower value will target a narrow range of similar colors, while a higher value will target a broader range.
