01
ADD AN ADJUSTMENT LAYER
“Here I show you how to change the
saturation of one colour in an image. I often use
this at the beginning of a painting, but I also use
this after the work is done for fine tuning.
Create a New Adjustment Layer>Hue/Saturation.”02
TARGETED ADJUSTMENT
“Select the small Hand tool icon. Click with
the mouse over the colour you want to change/adjust.
You can see [the cursor change to a] pipette now for
you to choose the colour. Click and drag the mouse –
while holding down the mouse button – to the left or
right to adjust the saturation of this target colour.”- MAKE USE OF QUICK VIEW OPTIONS
Not all of us have the luxury of a dual-screen
setup, so it can be frustrating when you want to
quickly change what you can see in your
Photoshop window. Luckily, there are a few
tricks that you can use to help you to navigate
around your image quickly and simply. Our top
tip is to use the H key. If you are zoomed in on
one part of your image, then you hold down H
and click with your mouse, the image will fly
back out to view the whole image in the window.
A box will appear and you can use this to
navigate to any other part of the image, where itwill zoom in so you can check the detail here. When
you release the H key, you will go back to your
original view without having changed position at all- perfect if you need to see a quick element in
another part of the image but want to continue
working as you were.

“You will notice that only the chosen
colour is changed. You can fine-tune it with the
dark grey areas, making the transition more
fluid [and] softer in the same place.”© Martin Grohs
