Select->Color Range->Image for Smoke & Light Rays

Lance Warley · #1 January 17th, 2006, 11:46 AM

I read that this function exists in PS CS and that it's great for selecting smoke or sun's rays.

I'd love to have this in PSE.

Does anyone know if there's a PSE workaround?

If your goal is to make a selection to replace the colour, then PSE has a Replace Colour command.

My goal is to be able to select it, so that I can do several things with the smoke or light - such as brighten it, darken it, copy/paste it into other pics, stuff like that.

Thanks.

In that case, you're absolutely right, you need the tool.

Hi ...

I am just wondering it you:

Duplicate your layer
use replace colour to change the colour to something odd (so that there isn't anything else of that colour in the image).
Then use the magic wand to select the colour,
feather it a little
trash the duplicate layer
... and then use the selection on the main image ..

I haven't tried it out but in theory it should work ... I think
