#How to desaturate the background without desaturating the characters in the image?
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Use a Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer with a Layer Mask. Mask out the characters. Turn the Saturation down to 0.
How do I mask out a character?
Counter question:
Are your characters and your background on different layers?
Can you please show a complete screenshot with the layers panel visible?
Actually, I rendered the artwork in gmod, and now I want to desaturate the background without desaturating the characters
That doesn't answer my question, but I assume now that everything is on one layer. And then masking is mandatory, as D.Humann has already written. Please have a look at a few basic tutorials on masking in Photoshop first. Then if you have any questions - just get back to us.
Is this, more or less, the result you're after?
Yeah
You'll have to make a selection. Then use the selection to make the mask. You can always refine the mask afterwards. This might help get you started...
