Ai selections in Photoshop with the new Adjustment Brush.<\/h2>\n

You may be aware of the Adjustment brush added in Photoshop 2024<\/a>. It does the same thing as an Adjustment Layer and painting on the mask. Its easier and quicker to use, especially for newer Photoshop users. This new feature added a lot of usefulness to this tool, where even advanced users may see this as a worthwhile shortcut. Let look at it now.<\/p>\n

Adjusting an object within a photo. Brighten a person.<\/h3>\n

Let’s brighten the woman in this photo. This example will allow you to see how this tool works.<\/p>\n

\"starting<\/p>\n

Choose the Adjustment Brush from the toolbox. Can’t find the adjustment brush? Here is the fix.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Choose<\/p>\n

Choose Exposure.<\/p>\n

\"use<\/p>\n

Click the icon to turn on object selection.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

As you roll over different parts of the image, you will see different objects highlighted. Sometimes, it will show the whole person, other times, part of the person.<\/p>\n

To select a highlighted area, click.<\/p>\n

\"Hover<\/p>\n

Notice the adjustment is applied as a new Adjustment Layer and a Layer Mask is created for the selected area.<\/p>\n

Adding to the selection with the Adjustment Brush in Photoshop<\/h3>\n

Notice the woman is adjusted, but her backpack doesn’t match the photo, because it wasn’t part of the selection mask,<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With the Adjustment Brush still selected, click on the Object Selection button in the top toolbar, and then, roll over the backpack.<\/p>\n

\"How.<\/p>\n

Click to select.<\/p>\n

Notice it’s added to the mask and takes on the adjustments immediately, because it’s part of the same mask.<\/p>\n

\"combining<\/p>\n

Changing the background color of a photo in Photoshop with the Adjustment Brush.<\/h2>\n

Let’s look at a different example, so we can use the tool in a different way. We will change the background color.<\/p>\n

Choose the Adjustment Brush, as before.<\/p>\n

Choose Hue\/Saturation as the Adjustment type.<\/p>\n

Click the Object selection option in the toolbar.<\/p>\n

\"select<\/p>\n

As you roll overe the image, notice different parts are highlighted.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

What we want to do, is select the entire foreground in a single selection. We can’t do this by rolling over in this case.<\/p>\n

Instead go to the taskbar (I positioned the taskbar by the top toolbar here).<\/p>\n

Choose Apply To Object. (If you are confused, see the video at the top).<\/p>\n

\"Use<\/p>\n

With Apply to Object, drag to make a selection around the entire are we want to select.<\/p>\n

Let’s inverse (swap) the selection, so that the background will be selected, instead of the foreground.<\/p>\n

Press Cmd+I (Ctrl+I Windows).<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Adjust the hue in the properties panel to change the color.<\/p>\n
