Summary
Here’s a summary of the video content:
The video provides a Photoshop tutorial by Colin Smith, founder of PhotoshopCAFE, on changing the color of an object in a difficult image. Smith demonstrates how to achieve results that surpass AI and even challenges AI at the end to see who can do it fastest. The technique works on any image, allowing for the color to be changed to any desired color, including black or white.
Smith covers three different levels of difficulty for changing object colors in Photoshop: Level 1 (easy), Level 2 (intermediate), and Level 3 (difficult). He explains that Level 3 involves images where colors in the object overlap with similar colors in the background, skin tones, or hair, requiring the use of masks and color range adjustments for precision.
The tutorial demonstrates using Hue/Saturation adjustments, eyedropper tools, and color range sliders to modify hues, saturation, and lightness. Smith also compares manual editing with AI-generated color changes, highlighting the flexibility, control, and lack of credit consumption or resolution loss associated with manual editing in Photoshop.
In conclusion, Smith emphasizes that manual editing in Photoshop offers greater control, flexibility, and resolution preservation compared to AI-generated color changes, making it a preferred method for complex image editing tasks.

Description
Learn how to change the color of objects in Photoshop, even in difficult images where similar colors appear in the background, skin, and hair. I’ll show you how to change objects to virtually any color, including black or white, while preserving the original texture and detail.
In this Photoshop tutorial, Colin Smith from PhotoshopCAFE shows you how to use Adjust Colors, Hue/Saturation, Color Range, and layer masks to get clean, precise results. We’ll start with a simple color change and work up to more challenging images where the usual techniques don’t quite work.
Then I’ll challenge Photoshop AI to see which method is faster. Can traditional Photoshop editing beat generative AI? We’ll compare speed, image quality, flexibility, and generative credits, with a surprising result.
