Hello! I need help changing the color of this image from green to darker colors. The hue/saturation tool works wonders but I can't seem to be able to make it dark red or brown, since there is no Value option. Is there any other tool I could use to change the color of the lines and their respective glow from green to a darker shade of a color?

Hi @DoctorMlemm

 

Welcome to the Forum. Quick and easy method

Adjustments/Black and White

+Add new Layer

Set blend mode to Overlay

Fill Layer with the Red to suit your needs

Merge Layer Down

If not bright enough, duplicate layer and set top layer to Additive

Merge Layer down

 

Hope this helps.

 @AndrewDavid provides a very good method, but I'll point out that the Lightness control is equivalent to Value. You could also apply Brightness/Contrast after Hue/Saturation.

My method:

  1. Duplicate the layer
  2. Apply Adjustments > Black & White
  3. Set Blend mode to Difference
  4. Flatten
  5. Hue/Saturation: Up the Saturation to 200 then play with the Hue slider. Red is around 94. For brown use Hue 120, Sat 160 & LIghtness -20.

The trick here is to make the image something other than a primary shade of green prior to using Hue/Sat. This is why I used an adjustment layer. After step 4 you have a pleasant shade of purple which has solid components in all three color channels. Think of these as something Hue/Sat can chew on :mrgreen:
