Introduction

In this tutorial, you will learn how to change the color of a t-shirt in Adobe Photoshop. This technique allows you to modify the color to any shade you desire, including creating gradient effects. This skill is useful for enhancing product images, designing apparel, or simply experimenting with color schemes.

Step 1: Open Your Image in Photoshop

• Launch Adobe Photoshop.
• Open the t-shirt image you want to modify by selecting File > Open and locating your image file.

Step 2: Select the T-shirt

• Use the Quick Selection Tool from the toolbar (shortcut: W).
• Click and drag over the t-shirt to create a selection. Adjust the size of the brush if needed for finer details.
• If necessary, hold down the Alt (Option) key while clicking to subtract any areas from the selection that you do not want to include.

Step 3: Create a Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer

• With the t-shirt still selected, go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation.
• In the dialog box that appears, click OK to create the layer.
• Adjust the Hue slider to change the t-shirt color. Move the slider left or right to see real-time changes.

Step 4: Fine-Tune the Color

• If the color appears too saturated, adjust the Saturation slider downwards.
• Adjust the Lightness slider if you want the color to appear lighter or darker.
• You can also use the Colorize option to apply a uniform color across the t-shirt.

Step 5: Create a Gradient Effect (Optional)

• If you want to apply a gradient, go back to the Layers panel.
• Select the Gradient Tool from the toolbar (shortcut: G).
• Click on the gradient bar in the options menu to choose or create a custom gradient.
• Click and drag over the t-shirt area to apply the gradient effect.

Step 6: Masking for Precision

• If the gradient or color adjustment affects areas outside the t-shirt, select the mask thumbnail on the Hue/Saturation layer.
• Use a soft brush with black color to paint over areas you want to hide or white to reveal more of the effect.
