Just when I thought no one could come up with another original plug-in that would surprise me, Digital Light & Color creates this pretty cool deal that changes just the color you want to change without using your darn lasso tool once.

 

Color Mechanic is a selective color correction plug-in for Photoshop that lets you change one or more colors in an image without changing any of the other colors in the picture!  After opening your image in the filter window, you simply select the item you want to change and then move the arrow around on the color cube and watch that area change color.

 

There is a draw back, however.  Let’s say you want to change a blue coat to green, and the person also has on a blue hat….. it will also change the hat to green.  Got it?  Change the girls red scarf, you also change the girls red lips.  Still, you can use the lasso to isolate what is changed, but then your back to Photoshop’s Hue/Saturation adjustment thing.

 

When the image is right for it, Color Mechanic works quit well, and makes the steps to change the color pretty quick.  Figuring out how to use the filter wasn’t just an ‘opening it and go for it’ thing.  I had to read the beginning PDF file to get started, but then it seemed so obvious, I decided I was just stupid that day.  It’s all pretty straightforward and obvious.  It might take some time to get used to the programs limitations, but it will still be useful in isolated situations.
