876 Recoloring art with the Paint Bucket tool
- [Instructor] In this movie I'll show you how to adjust the color scheme associated with your false color poster art. So, in our case we're going to leave the yellows and greens alone, but we're going to replace the various shades of red with comparable shades of violet. And we're going to be doing so using the Paint Bucket tool. So, even though the Paint Bucket is technically a destructive tool, because it permanently modifies the colors of pixels, you can further adjust those colors as much as you like. And I'll pass along a couple of extra tips along the way. All right, so I'll go ahead and switch to the red version of the artwork. And then I'll click and hold on my Gradient tool, if indeed, this is the tool at this location inside the vertical tool box, and I will choose the Paint Bucket tool from the flyout menu. Notice that I've already set the tolerance value, up here in the Options bar, to zero. And I've turned off the Anti-Alias and Contiguous check boxes, both of which are turned on by default. All right, so notice that my color panel's up on screen and I'm looking at the HSB sliders. And you can get to those guys by choosing HSB Sliders from this flyout menu. And so let's say that you want to figure out what color you've used in the past, then you just go ahead and press the Alt key or the Option key on the Mac in order to get the Eyedropper tool on the fly. And then click, in my case, in this dark red zone right here. And that will automatically fill out the HSB values. Now, for this effect to work properly, by the way, I'll go ahead and switch to the Eyedropper tool for a moment, which you can get by pressing the I key. You want Sample size to be set to Point Sample. That way you're just lifting the color of the pixel that you're clicking on, and nothing more. You're not mixing that color with neighboring pixels. All right, so notice that I have an H-value of five degrees, a saturation of 100%, and a brightness of 50%. I'm just going to change the hue value to 270 degrees and leave the other two values alone. And now notice, if I switch back to my Paint Bucket tool, which, at this point, I can get by pressing the G key. G for gradient, because that's the main tool in this slot. And then I were to click in those dark red pixels, I would replace their color with dark violet. All right, now I'm going to press and hold the Alt key or the Option key on a Mac, and click in this region right here in order to lift its color values. Notice that the hue value is once again five degrees. I'm going to change it to 270 degrees once again, and I'll leave the saturation and brightness values alone, so they are now 70 and 90%, respectively. And by the way, you want to make sure that the All Layers check box is turned off. If you turn it on, then Photoshop is going to see the other layers, specifically the text layers. In which case, if I click inside this region in order to replace its color, notice that I have a bunch of red around all of my letters. And this is the red that's left over from the drop shadow, by the way. And so now, if I were to turn off the type group, I have a residue of red around each and every letter. Which, of course, is not what I want. So I'll press Control + Z or Command + Z on the Mac a couple of time to undo that change. I'll turn off the All Layers check box. And then I will once again click inside this region in order to replace its color. All right now finally, I'll go ahead and press the Alt key or the Option key on a Mac to get my Eyedropper tool on the fly. And I'll click in this sort of peach-colored area right here. And notice that the hue value is 20 degrees this time around. I will once again change it to 270 degrees. I will tab to the saturation value and take it down to 30%, and I'll leave the brightness value set to 100%. And then I will click like so in order to replace every single pixel that was previously colored with that shade of peach. All right now, here's what you got to watch. Right now we have eight different colors inside of our image. So, we've got yellow where we once had black. We have these four different shades of green, starting with dark green, very dark green at this location, and then things brighten up incrementally. And then we have our three shades of violet. What you have to watch out for is at any point, replacing a color with one that already exists inside the artwork. So let's say that I clicked inside the eyelashes with this bright shade of violet right here. Well, I've now reduced the number of colors inside my image from eight down to seven. And so, if I were to now dial-in that shade of yellow that I was using just a moment ago, which has a hue value of 50 degrees, a saturation of 100%, and a brightness of 100% as well, if I click inside the eyelashes, I'm going to replace the colors outside of the eye as well. So what you want to do is make sure that your colors are slightly different. Even if you want them to look somewhat the same, just keep them slightly different, so that you still have those original eight shades, or whatever it is you started with. All right so, I'm going to undo that change, obviously, by pressing Control + Z or Command + Z on a Mac a couple of times like so. And that is how you switch out a color theme. And just so we can see the difference, I'll go up to the File menu and choose the Revert command. So, these are the original shades of red. And now we have these various shades of purple, thanks to our ability to replace posterized colors any time we like using the old-school Paint Bucket tool here inside Photoshop.
