Automatically match image colors
The machine learning-powered Match Colors feature lets you match colors of one image to the colors of another image. You can match colors of images, clipboard items, selections, shapes, or text to any other images or graphics on your device or the web. The Match Colors algorithm analyzes the source and the target images and then applies a wide range of color adjustments to match their lighting, contrast, and color balance.
Match colors of two images or layers
You can match colors with single layer or, using a color adjustments layer, with multiple layers in a composition.
To mach colors with the currently selected layer, do one of the following:
- Choose Format > Color Adjustments > Match Colors (from the Format menu at the top of your screen).
- Click
in the
Tools sidebar and choose Match Colors from the
More 
menu at the top of the Color Adjustments pane.
To match colors with multiple layers in a composition using a color adjustments layer (all layers below this layer will be affected):
- Choose Insert > Color Adjustments (from the Insert menu at the top of your screen) and choose Match Colors from the
More menu at the top of the Color Adjustments pane.
- Click
at the top of the
Layers sidebar, choose Color Adjustments, and choose Match Colors from the
More menu at the top of the Color Adjustments pane.
2. In the dialog, choose an image to use for color matching and click Match Colors. Alternatively, you can also drag an image from your Layers sidebar, desktop, Finder, web browser, or macOS Photos app to the Color Adjustments pane.
Match colors with Clipboard items
- Copy an item (a selection, shape, text or other) you want to match to the Clipboard.
- Open an image to which you'd like to match the colors.
Do one of the following:
- While holding down the key, choose Edit > Paste and Match Colors (from the Edit menu at the top of your screen).
- Press + + + + on your keyboard.
You can manually adjust any of the 37 color adjustments available in the Color Adjustments pane, delete or add new ones.
