For the next episode: "Realistic shadows", please make one! this will help us creators compositing/manipulation photos.. many of us can do that but they don't look how they should look like. Thanks again aaron :)
Ungrateful people. Thats who. This guys tutorials are excellent. He's a really good teacher. It's one thing knowing all the tools but to be able to teach them to novices takes skill.
This is an amazing tutorial. Now, if I want a precise color, the Hue, Saturation and Lighting is hard to work with.. For example, if I want my wall to be a shade of Burgundy, it's very tricky to match it to the color I want. Do you guys have any idea or tip of how to do that? Or to bring the RGB or CMYK color panel up after establishing the pen path? Thanks for your time!!
4 years too late to this comment, but you can just Google "RGB to HUE converting". If you have the RBG/HEX codes, you can have them converted to Hue, Sat & Light and easily plug them into the Sat/Hue box in Photoshop for precise color.
It would be great if you could show how to do that exact same thing EXCEPT with paint swatches downloaded from a paint store. I can't figure out how to get the specific paint color on the walls while keeping the shading and shadows that already exist.
when changing the hue, how do I select a specific colour I want the wall to be? ( eg I want it to be a certain tone of grey) i've brought a ref image that has the colour i want but I can't use the eyedropper to swatch it?
Great guide. Is it possible to make something white? I mean all the darker colors look great on the brick wall Im trying to paint. But white is impossible. Anyone know how this could be done?
Adobe Just Added some cool Features in Photoshop CC 2015.5, and i can't wait to get some tutorials on them hope you'll upload some tutorials soon on these features too.. Thank You...
I wish there was some way to use contiguous and still select the entire piece you wanted selected. The tolerance always picks up either not enough or too much :/
You can kind of redo steps presented in the video to do the wall reflected in the mirror as well. But some parts of wall reflected on the mirror are not part of what Aaron recolored.
Would there be a way to link the reflected wall colour in the mirror to the changing wall colour, so that the reflection matches and is accurate? Thanks for the video!
What would be the fix? Simply fill the mirror with black as you did at 5:30? or just colorize to fix the reflection and leave as is? Others feel free to chime in.
If I want specific colors on my walls? I have yet not seen a tutorial how to do this. All of them show a haphazard way of tweeking hue and saturation and eyeballing colors. Now I have a swatch collection with NCS paint colors and I want to apply specificly colors from that palette. How do I do that? This vould be a practical and realistic way to test colors on architecture, cars or whatever, to assist in choosing the ideal color based on real paint colors.
Hey Aaron! Love Phlearn and every video you guys post. Wanted to suggest some more photography based episodes in the future (lighting, different techniques for different styles of photos, lens and gear reccos, etc). Thanks!
Hello Aaron from France, and congrats for your awesome tuturials, often fun, always useful. It would be nice to have a tuto about creating a 3D cover book template, witch i think would match perfectly with your previous smart object cover book tutorial. Hope to see it soon ! Regards.
Selecting the walls remains the same (using the pen tool, etc) but instead of using a hue/sat adjustment layer, create a blank layer and, using the selection, fill that layer with the foreground color after color picking the swatch. Then change that new layer's blending mode to "Color" :) This practice comes in a great amount of help if you're having trouble picking a paint color for a room in your house or something. Just keep creating and filling new layers with paint swatches until you find one you like! Pure photoshop magic!
Andy, thanks for this tip. I'm struggling with lighter colours though - e.g. a pure white fill just looks grey on the wall. Any ideas? (what I'm really trying to do is see what a baby pink looks like)
Lots of call for real estate retouching so I decided to take a beautiful room in disrepair and try to restore it for my portfolio. Talk about a fixer-upper. Hard to get work without side by sides. I really appreciate your talent and skills plus the generosity to share it. Maybe you could do a tutorial on it. Thanks Aaron.
could y'all make a video on making a poster from the 80's? that would include the neon colors, futuristic grid lines, and maybe the chrome metal text like in Transformers?
So this is great, and I'm trying to use it to change a mid creamy coloured wall to a light baby pink. Does this work for lighter colours? When I add Lightness to try and get a lighter colour tone it just looks too bright and unrealistic.
The most dazziling thing in this Video is how did you get the old school Tools Bar?? Since a few Updates I have this new style Tools Bar on the left and I miss my old one.
Some paint manufacturers provide PS Swatches of their full sale of colors. Is there a way to select a color swatch or determine a color by CMYK etc. and not just select one via the slider? That would be awesome....
So I'm trying out video editing in photoshop (mainly because I like the comfort of the layers) for the first time but is there a way for the rendering not to take a year to export??... I mean I know my laptop is slow but geesh!!! Lol... Anyway I would like to see more "video in photoshop" tutorials as well...
Why can I not create a 2nd selection within the mask. I have 2 windows I need to black out in the mask and I can only get 1 to have the option "fill" available.
Any tips for how to determine the paint color you'll need from a photo that you've adjusted this way? The tone in the photo varies according to the amount of light reflected off different parts of the wall, so how do you determine the precise paint color?
Guess? It's there a hex system? They just mix primary colors at the paint store. There is a service at Lowe's I think that you can bring apicture in and it will pick the color from scanning the picture
***** Some paint stores seem to be able to mix up the precise color you want, either by scanning a color sample or by giving them a CMYK value or something like it. My question is how to get the CMYK value of the paint you'll need from a photograph given that the CMYK values of different pixels in a photo will vary depending on shadows, reflections, and the camera's exposure settings. It would be easy to buy paint that is too dark or too light because it's mostly the K value (amount of black) that will vary throughout a photo.
***** I think the best way might be to compare the brightness of the color with something white that appears under the same lighting within the shot, but I'm not absolutely sure how to do that.
I'm not a photographer or a professional painter, but I've watched plenty CZcams videos... Here's my thought for what it's worth. include a standard 50/50 gray card in the original photo. Treat this part of the photo special in photoshop. Use curves and that spot as your gray point. I would expect then, that your wall paint color right next to that swatch (after colorizing, should be about as close as you can get. Anybody, please advise otherwise if my suggestion is wrong or can be improved.
Hallo PHLEARN! CAN U PLEASE MAKE A TUTORIAL FOR HOW TO USE THE GLOWING EDGES EFFECTS? IT LOOKS SO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL AWESOME VIDEO THUMB UP!
The new PS CC. I used quick mask, masked out a face, clicked off quick mask and then, in the older version, you had a window on the right where you could add to the mask or take-away, it was a pen type tool,. Its gone? any help would be appreciated.
Where do you find the color number to take to the paint store. I was told by another photoshop instructor that you can find the colors at the paint store if you have the number and they can match it.
Fantastic video as usual! I've missed quite a few of your videos lately though, and this one had a different, extremely lifelike look to it. What camera are you using now for your on-camera portions? Looks excellent. FS5 or C100Mk2 maybe? Oh, also, I would like to get my daughter a tablet device like you use for her photoshopping. What do you recommend?
There are a lot of them listed at B&H, I was thinking something like this one maybe for a starter?: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1180858-REG/wacom_cth490ab_intuos_art_pen.html
I Have a Problem that, How to Cut a curly hair in black or other dark colour background except white background using channel in photoshop. So I would like to request you to make a video about that topic. Thanks for Helping
Warning: Understand that pantone denominations are absolute (always tha same) but an RGB color will always look different in each monitor (Thats why printers have special monitors) so even if you like the color on the screen or in the picture, be sure to look the pantone in real life.
@@thejuanpa88 If you calibrate your monitor you won't have this problem Get a Colormunki or a Spyder Pro (a little cheaper) and you can actually calibrate your monitor so it will actually present the "real-world" colors.

Finally! Now I can paint my house without choosing the wrong color. Thank you for this video :)

Love your way of teaching. Very easy to follow up. I love the final cap for the content.
Thanks. So clear and concise. A real help.
Absolutely love these tutorials. I really learn a lot from them. Thanks so much :-)
Cool video! Doesnt make any sense to change the mirror color though. A blue wall got a brown reflection in the mirror?
I wish there was some way to use contiguous and still select the entire piece you wanted selected. The tolerance always picks up either not enough or too much :/

You could make all of the walls one selection and then mask that.

you really have great tutorial videos! even if i have any problem i can search what i need and the tutorial is always there!

I love you.
Thank your for a very helpful tutorial!
Just curious, how would this work if you had an exact color that you wanted to match? For example, from a paint sample color swatch.

Whoop whoop second and thanks for the great tutorial as always
thanks for all the tutorials man, can you please make a tutorial on dave hill effect
It really helped me.
Thanks.
I was just wondering if you ever made a video on how to place objects in to photo? Like if you want to fill an empty room w/ furniture?
+bryan alvarado thanks bro, appreciate it
Cool video. Once color is picked out, would I need to give paint store RGB values to get correct match?
Thanks! That worked well for me in PS CS5.5 too.
this is very good lesson thank you
Phlearn, I would love to see some lightroom/ photoshop combinations. I struggle to use both at the same time for one perticualr photo
So this is great, and I'm trying to use it to change a mid creamy coloured wall to a light baby pink. Does this work for lighter colours? When I add Lightness to try and get a lighter colour tone it just looks too bright and unrealistic.
Billions of people in the world and this guy is the only one that uses the pen tool.
Loved this! Quality stuff! Keep it up :)
The most dazziling thing in this Video is how did you get the old school Tools Bar?? Since a few Updates I have this new style Tools Bar on the left and I miss my old one.
Dope 👊
Nice Video , But what if the color changed to white and vice versa to make it look more natural?
please post the images url in the description so we can practice on the same image, thanks.

Can you change the color of the wall for Video as well? like changing a white wall/background into lets say - Red??
Awesome sir! :D
please make a video on digital painting effect.:)
Very cooltuto, but u forgot the wall reflection in the mirror. Thank u
What would I need to do if I wanted to change the white to black!
Why can I not create a 2nd selection within the mask. I have 2 windows I need to black out in the mask and I can only get 1 to have the option "fill" available.
Hi! I have a photo of a brown wall and tried to change it to white but it keeps looking gray-ish. Does anyone know how to fix that?
yes it is possible.. I know that!
what if u want to choose a specific color? will the dropper work?
Any idea why Fill would be grayed out?
how would i make a wall black? from white. It just goes black like ive got the brush on it and painted black and looks silly.

Hey Aaron, what camera do you use to film?
How would you be able to find out the Pantone number when you´ve chosen a colour that you like?
I dont know about pantone but you have your RGB values. Maybe you can find it from there
I googled it and there is a conversion from RGB to pantone. RGB values should be in the hue/saturation layer and you just copy it in the converter
+Rok Zabukovec, thanks for that, I was going to Google it later, bit I'm watching the football!
