Photoshop, the versatile image editing software, offers an array of features to transform and enhance visuals. One of these tools is the ‘Hue’ adjustment, which enables users to fine-tune the colour spectrum of an image. In this tutorial, we present a step-by-step walkthrough on how to transition the hue of red tones to white hues using Photoshop.
Step #1
Open the image you want to work with by navigating through the Menu >> File >> Open >> then select the image.
Step #2
Now you want to duplicate the layer so you keep a copy of your original file in case anything goes wrong. To do this, simply press Ctrl+J on Windows, or Cmd+J on Macs.
Step #3
Use the Magnetic Lasso tool by navigating through Tools >> Lasso Tool >> Magnetic Lasso. This tool will help you identify the edges of your image, adding anchor points to the selection as you drag the cursor around the object. Also, if you’re doing more complicated work that requires extra accuracy, you may want to try out Polygonal Lasso; which can be gotten from the Lasso Tools menu as well.
Step #4
Press Ctrl+J for Windows or Cmd+J for Macs to copy your selection and paste it into a new layer. This is also done to save another stage of your work in case you end up getting it wrong, you can easily go to the previous stage.
Step #5
Navigate through Menu >> Image >> Adjustments >> Gradient map, then select black/white gradient style.
Step #6
Navigate through Menu >> Adjustments >> Brightness/Contrast. Here, you want to increase the contrast so your image becomes as white as you want it to be.
