How to Change the Color of Images Normally?
When it comes to replacing image colors, what comes to your mind first? Color adjustment, right? Yes, color adjustment is the most normal way to change image colors; you can adjust the hue, saturation, contrast, brightness, lightness, and tint to meet your needs. In addition to that, you can apply a filter to change the image colors in seconds without customizing too much.
With so many photo editing tools in the market, let's pick a different app to help you do that. Filmora, although primarily as a video editor, can change photo colors comprehensively with its ability to customize HSL, exposure, contrast, vibrance, white and black levels, vignetting, shadow, temperature, and more. It also provides thousands of filters, effects, and fonts that you can add to your images.
What's more, if you want to turn images into an animated video, it can do that!

You can also do the color adjustments using the Filmora desktop as well. Select the image > go to color > either choose HSL or Curve for further edits.

Change Color in Photos with Filters
Color filters are another hack to change picture color. Unlike the color adjustments, where you will probably adjust several color attributes for a suitable color tone, filters are often available as presets.
You simply drop a suitable color filter onto the image you want to color, and the effect is pasted into that image/section. Some color filters provide customizable attributes such as opacity that help you tailor your image according to your needs.
However, these attributes are often minimal, and you will spend less time and resources compared to the color adjustment technique. The beauty is that most powerful image editors like Filmora have a collection of color filters that you can download and apply to your image to change color accordingly.
- Upload the image to filmora.
- Go to Filters > find your favorite filter to apply.
