Inversion of hue/saturation

Beitrag von Paul »

Hi,
I am trying to select all the red colours in a picture and want all the rest in grey.
The method I thought of was in the Hue/Saturation adjustment. But only the selected colour is put to grey, and all the rest remains coloured. Is there a way to invert the adjustment? All I can think of is select the other colours and slide the saturation to 0, but this will fail if I want, say, purple or brown to remain in colour.
Also, when I have made an adjustment in Hue/Saturation and want to change it later, the triangels in the slider have disappeared, so no correction is possible.

Create a hue/saturation layer and turn the saturation all the way down to desaturate the image.
Then right-click the layer and create a color filter.
Choose HIS for the background, and use the sliders to select the hue range that you want the layer to apply to. If you want to keep red and desaturate everything else, for example, move the sliders in to exclude red. Split the sliders to create smooth transitions. You can also slide the selected ranges up and down with the mouse.

You may also use Hue Editor adjustment layer to separate saturation of red color with curves like this (Normally it is done in HIS mode, but RGB, LAB and HSV modes may also give you different interesting looks of desaturated colors):

The colours in the ranges 2 to 7 are just presets. For each of the six available ranges, you can set the hue range using the small triangles. You'll have to move the small triangles so that the indicator bar is black in the red range. It's probably best to start with the cyan or blue preset and extend its range. (The names of the ranges also change depending on the colour range selected – it's best to remember its position or keyboard shortcut.)

Usage is very similar to the colour filter mentioned above, but you have more than one filter availabe (which may be an advantage or confuding).

To make the triangles re-appear, you have to re-select the range that you have used before (as I wrote above, remember its menu position or keyboard shortcut) – by default, the adjustment layer switches back to "all" EDIT: the last statement is wrong, by default, the current PL remembers the last range used.

That's strange. If I create an adjustment layer for a given hue range and edit it later, the modified hue range is preselected. This happens with both the modal and non-modal dialog.

You are right – with the current PL, the range also remains selected. (If I remember, earlier versions of PL used to switch back to "all".) Not sure why the TO has this problem – maybe he is using an older PL.

I don't think that that is the problem, because the behavior already changed in version 18.53.

I did some more tests and found out that it only works if the range has been changed. I will fix that.
Also ranges with a modification will be marked by a '*'.
