In this tutorial, I'll show you how to change the color of anything in Affinity Photo. To do this, we will make a selection and then use an HSL adjustment. We will then paint on a new layer to remove the fringing. This tutorial is perfect for beginners and long time Affinity users, so I hope you enjoy it! 😊

Yes, that's exactly true. I also highly recommend her courses and I was not paid for this comment.

[@justenhansen]

I'm gonna start watching all your videos so I can learn about all the things I didn't know I didn't know about.

Super instructions !!! Thank you Ali 🤗

[@Bibliophile1686]

Excellent video! I knew how to change the color of something, but I didn't know how to deal with the fringing issue. Thank you!

[@AffinityRevolution]

Glad you could learn something new! 😊

[@PracticalAffinity]

Another great video. You've been a great inspiration for my own Affinity Photo KZbin channel. Someday I hope to be half as good as you! Have a great day.

[@AffinityRevolution]

Good with your channel! I hope you grow a lot. 😊

[@AuthorMelodyLoomis]

Thank you this is so helpful! You explain the steps in a way I can understand!

[@AffinityRevolution]

Thank you! Glad you liked the video. 😊

This method works OK when the fringing is on a subject whose color doesn't vary. Then you can use the HSL adjustment to shift the entire range of hues, select one color from the subject (the jacket in this case), and paint out the fringes. But if the color varies in different parts of the subject (perhaps because ambient lighting varies around the subject), a single color won't work. Instead, use the Clone Brush tool with the Color blend mode, and keep cloning the color nearest the part of the fringe you're working on.

[@AffinityRevolution]

That's a good tip! The Clone Brush is great for trickier photos like that.

Hi, is there a way to change the color to a specific hex code? I honestly have a very hard time working with the sliders -- I have a specific color I want, and I know what the hex code is. If there is a way I can start with the hex code, then I can tweak the saturation and luminosity, or add levels. But when I'm using the slider, I cannot seem to find the right color -- particularly when I'm trying to find a neutral color like a brown or beige. Thank you!

[@AffinityRevolution]

Here's a video I made on how to change something to an exact color. It's an older video, but the technique still works the same today. 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJ6xmoiVnNacjdEsi=DjT1YNvdzw3J_O-L

@@AffinityRevolution THANK YOU!!!

[@flyerhere]

Ally, this is a fantastic tutorial. I love your videos and I have bought many of your classes and find them to be especially useful. Just a quick question for clarification. Could you have activated the selection of the jacket when you painted the edges and then reversed it? The only reason I ask is you simply would have been able to be less precise if it was selected. What do you think?

[@AffinityRevolution]

That could be a good way to do it! But personally, I like to manually paint the edges, because my initial selection isn't always perfect, so it gives me a chance to clean up the edges.

[@flyerhere]

@@AffinityRevolution That makes perfect sense. Thanks.

[@SuryodaySMM]

Great! Very helpful. Is there a way to select a specific color in HSL Adjustment Layer using a Hex code?

[@Hart-en-Ziel]

Thank! In Photoshop I would: keep te selection, modify the border to say 4 pixels and start painting with a low density brush. Can this be done in Affinity Photo too?

[@voitek123pl]

Will we ever see Ezra making tutorials again?

[@AffinityRevolution]

He helps me plan & edit my videos, but I will be the only one filming them. 🙂

[@averageguy6872]

easier way make selection, then create a mask from that selection then add a fill layer (layer/fill layer) apply the mask only to the fill layer and change blend mode to linear burn

[@KANIIVTI]

The correction goes better if make the selection bit bigger or you take the Brush Layer in your Clothes comp. [Sry my English is ...]

[@AffinityRevolution]

Thank you for the tip!
