How Do I Desaturate a Specific Color in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 1:17 am

Have you ever wondered how to desaturate a specific color in Photoshop? Whether you want to remove the color from an object or simply change the overall tone of your image, desaturating a color can be a helpful editing technique. Here’s how to do it:

First, open your image in Photoshop. Then, go to the “Layer” menu and select “New Adjustment Layer.” From the list of options, choose “Hue/Saturation.”

PRO TIP: If you are not careful when using this Photoshop technique, you could end up desaturating the wrong color in your image. Be sure to select the correct color before you begin the desaturation process.

Next, click on the drop-down menu next to “Hue” and select the color that you want to desaturate. For example, if you want to remove the color green from your image, you would select “Green” from the menu. Then, drag the “Saturation” slider to the left until the color is desaturated to your liking.

Finally, click “OK” to apply your changes. And that’s it! You’ve successfully desaturated a specific color in Photoshop.
