How Do You Correct Color and Match Tones in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 10:31 pm

There are a number of ways to correct color and match tones in Photoshop. One way is to use the levels tool. This tool can be found in the “Image” drop-down menu at the top of the screen.

When you open the levels tool, you will see a histogram. This histogram represents the range of tones in your image. The left side of the histogram represents the shadows, the middle represents the midtones, and the right side represents the highlights.

To adjust the levels, you will need to move the sliders under the histogram. The black slider should be moved to the left until it is just before the start of the histogram.

The white slider should be moved to the right until it is just after the end of the histogram. The grey slider can be used to adjust the midtones.

Another way to adjust color and match tones is to use curves. Curves can be found in the “Image” drop-down menu, under “Adjustments.” When you open curves, you will see a graph.

This graph represents all of the tones in your image. To adjust curves, you will need to click on points along the line and drag them up or down. Dragging a point up will make that tone lighter, while dragging it down will make it darker.

You can also use hue/saturation to adjust color. Hue/saturation can be found in the “Image” drop-down menu, under “Adjustments.”

When you open hue/saturation, you will see three sliders: hue, saturation, and lightness. Hue controls what color an object appears as. Saturation controls how vibrant that color appears, and lightness controls how light or dark that color appears.

Finally, you can use select colors to correct color and match tones. Select colors can be found in
