Match color of two layers in the same image

Select an area in the layer you want to match if you want to adjust only a specific region (for example, skin tones). If you don't select, the adjustment uses the colors of the entire source layer.

Select the target layer (the one you want to adjust) and then select Image > Adjustments > Match Color.

In the Match Color dialog, confirm that the Source menu image is the same as your target image.

From the Layer menu, select the source layer you want to match. Select Merged to match colors from all layers combined.

Once an option is selected, adjust how it's used:

• Select Ignore Selection when Applying Adjustment to apply the adjustment to the entire target layer.
• Select Use Selection in Source to Calculate Colors to calculate the adjustment from the selected area of the source layer.
• Select Use Selection in Target to Calculate Adjustment to calculate adjustment only from the selected area of the target layer.

Select Neutralize to remove any color cast in the target layer.

Adjust the following settings as needed:

• Luminance: Move the slider or enter a value (1–200, default 100) to change brightness.
• Color Intensity: Move the slider or enter a value (1–200, default 100) to change saturation. A value of 1 converts the layer to grayscale.
• Fade: Move the slider to control the strength of the adjustment. Moving it right reduces the effect.

Select OK to apply the changes.
