![]() In this example, the color range has been adjusted to include the majority of the grassy bank in the foreground. The benefit here is that any of the other Capture One tools compatible with Local Adjustments can then be used to adjust the area. It is also possible to convert a color range selection into a mask with a simple click. Local Adjustments allow targeted adjustments to an image by drawing a mask with a brush or a gradient tool. Invert Slice icon in the Color Editor toolĬonverting selections to Local Adjustments Masks Sometimes it can be useful to invert a selection, if you wish to edit all colors with the exception of the picked color.Ĭlicking the Invert Slice icon (highlighted below) will invert the selection, meaning that any color edits will happen on the entire image, with the exception of the targeted red zone. Remember to uncheck the View selected Color Range option.Ī maximum of 30 color edits is possible, so simply repeat the above steps for additional color edits. With a satisfactory range now selected, simply use the Hue, Saturation and Lightness sliders to edit the color. A slight increase is a perfect selection.īy adjusting the color range boundary and the Smoothness value it is possible to get extremely targeted adjustments. Reducing the Smoothness to the minimum value is too great in this case, as the bottom right of the yellow circle gets removed from the range. In the following short clip, see how the color range changes, with the reduction of the Smoothness value. This is shown visually by the “fuzzy” graphic around the boundary.Ī Smoothness value of 0 will have no roll–off to neighboring colorsĪ Smoothness value of 30 will have the maximum roll-off to neighboring colors. This adjustment controls how much roll-off there is to neighbouring colors around the boundary lines. If neighbouring colors are very close, it may also be necessary to adjust the Smoothness slider. The period mark in the centre of the boundary lines is the exact picked color from earlier.Īs the range is edited, the image in the viewer will update in real time, giving you a good idea of when your desired selection is reached. Hovering over any of the range boundary lines changes the cursor and allows the expansion or reduction of the range. If we want to completely isolate the Yellow ring, it’s a simple task to reduce the Color Range and refine further with the Smoothness slider. Any part of this image that is not part of the selected range will be presented as monochrome – for example, now some, but not all of the aircraft body. This option will help us visualise exactly what is part of the chosen range, to allow us to edit it further. A simple click will choose a suggested color range as shown in the Color Editor tool. Note, in this image the yellow tone we are choosing sits very close to the neighboring greens of the rest of the aircraft body. 1, Use the picker to identify the color you wish to edit - Click on the picker to the right of the color wheel Use the picker to identify the color you wish to edit This process can be summarized in three simple steps: Invert color range selections Editing Color ![]() Target a precise color range and edit the Hue, Saturation and Lightness of this rangeĬonvert color range selections into Local Adjustment masks What exactly can this tool do? Here are some brief definitions: In this article we will look at some of the options in the Advanced tab of the Color Editor tool. The Color Editor is one part of this equation, enabling precise definition of a color range for adjustment and linking in to other possibilities for even finer control. One of Capture One’s many strengths lies with its huge potential for adjustment and optimization of color. ![]()
