Hi There,

i would like to recolor a jumper from one color into another color --> light green into scin color. This works just fine for the majority of the article. But I have a purple shimmer around the buttons. How can i avoid this. Are there any tricks or tipps how i can do this. (The color of the button is not important since it will be put onto a seperate layer)

Many Thanks

Hi @Christian5C7E - I’m Caroline, a Product Marketing Manager at Adobe.

I'm conducting some research on recoloring assets and think you'd provide some super valuable insights - would you be interested in a brief interview? We'd also offer a gift card for your time!

I suspected that in RGB mode the color shift in the shadows was caused by the fact that changing a channel’s tone level automatically changes the channel’s color to some degree and vice versa.

I switched to Lab Color, where tone resides in a channel separate from color. (I could not choose your exact green and skin for a test because there is no flat color area to measure. I settled for something in the neighborhood.)

The shadow color shift was eliminated.

I would like to try it with your exact colors. Can you tell me the RGB values and color profile of each of the two colors or the Lab value for each?

If, on the other hand, you are familiar with Lab curve adjustments (far different from RGB) I suggest you give it a try. Good luck.

This looks very nice - can this also be used to recolor images to a needed color, likle the example given? Could you give me some more information about this so that i can get into this and learn. Need it desperately :-). Thank you so very much.

And what do you mean with any flat area --> Maybe that all the colors are a mix and?

You have chosen a point on the sweater that is light black (about a 20% value). It allowed for considerable modeling throughout the darker end of the tonal. You chose to compress those values to 8 points short of solid black, yet hoped to carry modeling into that compressed space…a space in the tonal scale where definition is almost imperceptible. That is a lot to ask. Detail matters.

It would be logical to choose another point in the sweater that can abandon detail for the sake of a near black. For example, consider a dark but not the darkest point on the sleeve where detail can be compromised and meet your chosen color. A possible version is shown above. You can choose to to make it darker; the sacrifice of detail is your call.

Note: A wonderful painter who worked in the 60’s, Ad Reinhardt, created black on black paintings that required you to study the surface for a few minutes before the different geometric shapes revealed themselves. I thought it was great art – but I would not recommend attempting to apply the technique here.
