Hi, I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS6 and I a photo taken from Google Images it's a sky with some clouds and I want to change the color of the clouds please have a look at the photo below and share your suggestions.

I want the color of the clouds to be like yellowish color or like light orange something like that.

Regards!

The approach here is to take advantage of two of Lab Color's features

a. Provides a suitable mask based on the b channel

b. Because of its unique color gamut, it provides appropriate tone where none exists in RGB.

First, make the mask

1. Open file

2. Add a duplicate layer

3. Image > Mode > Lab Color

4. Channels. Make a copy the b channel [then select that new channel]

5. Image > Adjustments > Curves …Auto. Done. No brushwork at all.

Now add the color

1. Return to RGB mode

2. Add a blank layer

3. Edit > Fill the blank layer with a chosen Foreground color

4. Set the Blending Mode to Color in the Layers panel

5. Go to Channels, choose the b copy (the mask) and click on Load Channel as Selection

6. Choose RGB (in Channels) and return to the Layers panel

7. Click on the Mask symbol at the bottom of the Layers panel

(Note the burned out highlights)

8. Image > Mode > Lab Color

9. Burned out area now carries tone, near neutral shadow values of the original are maintained, and the proper modeling has returned.

10. Layer > Flatten image. (A must.) Then, return to RGB.

No brushwork, sliders or Curve manipulation.

EDIT: In retrospect, I think a lighter orange would haVe been a better choice.

it does give a nice effect which can be adjusted to other images

to be a little picky; step 4 "make a copy of channel b" needs to then select that new channel before doing step 5 "Curves …Auto"

thanks for the tutorial norman

Hi

I would use a Selective Colour Adjustment layer and target the white neutral colours

There is some overlap between colours, which keeps the adjustments smooth. If the blues move too much for your liking just select the blues in the same adjustment layer and tweak them back (I've not done that above)

c.pfaffenbichler when I do that it also changes the color of the sky which I don't want I only want to color of the clouds to be changed not the sky. In your edited photo it looks great can you please share the values and step by step procedure?
