A color-range mask focuses an edit on similarly colored pixels, useful for a saturated sign, green leaves or a brightly colored shirt.

A practical way to approach it

Sample the right color

Choose a region that clearly represents the unwanted hue. Make the selection narrow enough that unrelated objects stay intact.

Check the overlay

Hair, skin and backgrounds often share colors in shadow. Add or subtract from the selection if it reaches the wrong area.

Correct the selected area

Adjust saturation or tint gently while watching edge transitions at normal size.

One limitation to remember

If two objects are nearly the same color, a color-range mask may affect both; combine with a brush when needed.
