![]() ![]() I’ll click “Invert Range” once again to revert the direction back to counter-clockwise (and restore the yellow hair). In this example, the model’s hair goes from yellow to orange with this slight change. By reversing the order (green arrow), the result will be slightly different. Right now, the colors in your color range are selected in counter-clockwise order. The “Invert Range” button (red arrow) will reverse the direction of your color range. In this example, you’ll see that instead of the model’s hair and the background being selected, now her face and skin tones are selected. This simply changes what colors you have selected by reversing the area inside the arrows. The “Clockwise” checkbox (red arrow) changes the range of colors from inside the two arrows to outside the two arrows (green arrow). However, I can also change these values manually by dragging the slider with my mouse, or by middle-clicking with my mouse wheel on the numerical values and manually typing a value.īelow the sliders are three additional features – the “Clockwise” checkbox, “Invert Range” button, and “Select All” button (outlined in red in the image above). So, I can change the values in these sliders by clicking and dragging the arrows in the color wheel. You may have noticed when I rotated the arrows around the color wheel and individually adjust each arrow inwards that these values changed to new values. So, one of the arrows corresponds to the “From” slider (red arrows in the image above), while the other corresponds to the “To” slider (green arrows in the image above). These arrows each correspond to a slider on the left. As I do that, you’ll see we’ll get a slightly different shade of yellow hair on the model (more on why the hair is yellow right now in a moment). So, I’ll drag each individual arrow (red arrows in the image above) closer towards this color. In this case, I want to select a smaller range closer to light blue/cyan. In this case, I want to select the light blue colors in my image (green arrow in the image above), so I can rotate both arrows around the color wheel until I reach the area where the blue resides.Īs I said before, I can also expand or shrink the range by clicking and dragging just a single arrow at a time. You can click on either of these arrows to expand or shrink the color range you are selecting, or click in the middle of the arrows to rotate the entire range around the wheel (which essentially results in new hues being selected). These arrows mark the beginning and end of the color range you are selecting. You’ll notice that the color wheel inside the Source Range areas as two arrows that converge at the same point. By selecting a range of similar colors with this filter, you can effectively select variations of a single color across and image and swap those colors out with a new range of colors – thus creating a more realistic look. They are usually a range of colors with various shades, saturation, and even minor variations in hue. The reason this tool is effective is that colors in an image are rarely, if ever, just a single color. ![]() This area allows you to choose the color range you’d like to change. Near the top of the dialogue is a section titled “Source Range” (red arrow in the image above). The “Rotate Colors” dialogue contains a few colors wheels and several sliders. To access this tool, go to Colors>Map>Rotate Colors. Once the image is open into GIMP, we can now use the “Rotate Colors” tool to recolor our image. This part is up to you, but I tend to go with “convert.” GIMP will often ask you if you want to “convert” the image to GIMP’s native sRGB color space, or “keep” the image’s original color profile. I can open a photo into GIMP by going to File>Open or by simply clicking and dragging my photo from my computer into the GIMP window (as demonstrated by the red arrows, following the green dotted path in the image above). For starters, I’ll open the image I want to use for this tutorial (which you can download free from Pexels if you want to follow along). ![]()
