Changing Colours in Lightroom Using New Hue

Previously, I showed how to Change Colours in Photoshop. For this Thursday Editing Tip, I cover how to change colours in Lightroom using the new Local Hue Adjustment tool.

Adobe Lightroom Classic newly added a Hue adjustment to the local adjustment tools (Brush, Gradient, and Radial Filters.) Many new users may not be aware of the power of this new feature, so I decided to discuss it in this article.

Let’s get started Changing Colours in Lightroom.

  • Select the photo and go to Develop Modul.
  • Select the BRUSH tool

  •  Make sure to check and activate the AUTO MASK box. The Auto Mask makes the selection nice and tidy.

Auto Mask

Auto Mask creates a cleaner selected area.
  • Start brushing the areas that you want to change the colours.
  • A Quick Tip: Check the “Show Selected Mask Overlay.” This option helps you to see the exact brushed areas.

  • After finishing brushing, remember to deactivate the Mask Overlay.
  • Then go to HUE slider and start changing colours to your liking.
