How Do I Select a Specific Color in Photoshop to Delete It?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 11:23 am

There are times when you have an image that contains many colors, and you want to delete a specific color from the image. This can be done in Photoshop by using the Select Color tool. Here’s how:

1. Open the image in Photoshop.

2. Select the Select Color tool from the toolbar (it looks like a dropper).

3. Click on the color in the image that you want to delete.

4. In the “Select Color” dialog box, choose the ” Hue” option and increase or decrease the “Hue” slider until only the color you want to delete is selected.

5. Click on the “Add to Selection” button.

6. Now click on the “Delete” button and the color will be deleted from the image!

PRO TIP: When using Photoshop to delete a specific color, be aware that you may inadvertently delete other colors as well. Use the eyedropper tool to select the color you wish to delete, then use the eraser tool to remove it. Be careful not to erase any other colors in the process.
