Can this be done? Take one colour & switch it with some other colour. If this can be done, care to drop some steps?
thanks in advance |

can't you just use the 'replace colour' option? Sounds self-explanatory to me. However, I think this changes one shade of colour so there will more than likely be different shades of the same colour within a given area.
Alternatively, (ive never tried this) go to hue/saturation, use the drop down menu to select reds, greens or whatever and slide the hue thing? That might do the trick. |

Yeps, that works perfectly, although you'll probably find out that there are so many more reds (greens or whatever) hidden in your picture that will change too. But to change a red item on white into a blue item on white, it works just fine (and easy too)

| Don't forget about the paint bucket tool. Select the paint bucket tool> select the color you want> click in area you want to change. |

Rooster:
I think that if you upload an image and ask (beg) people to edit it (and relate their editing) you will find that it is a bit more complicated than the replies given so far may lead you to believe. I am not really very good at this and was waiting to read a good answer myself. |

It can be, it really depends on the photo how hard it will be or which tool is best.

An example would help. Different images do better with different techniques. That said, when I need to change a color (say someone's clothing color, etc) I create a new layer, set blending option to Color, then using a paintbrush I paint on the color I want. This method replaces the color, but keeps highlights & shadows intact, but can be sloppy along the edges if you're not careful.

| That (see above) sounds very reasonable. I will have to give it a try. I often find myself wishing I could better replace a color. |

Before changing the color you might want to remove any color casts first. At least do an auto levels/curves/color adjustment first if you are unsure there is one.

Tested the paint on color mode layer method and it worked so well... so simply. Thanks Leroy and Cindi.
Much better than the crappy replace color tool!
Rooster, you in there? |
