Example: Using the Limit Effect Controls to Change a Specific Color
This example shows you how to use the Limit Effect controls of the Color Corrector
filter to selectively change the color of a man’s pants from red to blue, without
changing the color of anything else in the frame.
1 With the color correction filter already applied, click the Select Color button (the
eyedropper) to activate the Select Color tool.
2 In the Canvas, click the eyedropper on the man’s red pants to select a primary key color.
Try to pick a color value that lies somewhere between the brightest and darkest areas
to which you’re trying to limit the effect.
This example shows
how to adjust the color
of the man’s pants only.
Click the Select Color button.
Click a color on the pants
to get a good starting
value of red.
