I just got Photoshop CS and am trying to use the color replacement tool as described in the tutorial. I am not getting a true color replacement. Navy blue may turn light neon blue, skin tone may turn neon pink. No true color to true color. What do I need to do?
View 1 RepliesI have a PSD file open and I added a new layer via the copy command. I have added a Layer Mask to the new layer and I'm trying to use the Brush Tool with black forground to cover part of the new layer. I'm following an online tutorial step by step, but when I try to use the Brush Tool I get "could not use color replacement tool because it only works in full color mode". The Image>Mode is set to RGB.

what the sampling continuous option does?
I have very recently started using Photoshop CS.
When I tried to use it a second time, instead of replacing my color that I click on with black (my chosen color) it changes it to gray. When moving the tool over other areas, it grays them out as well. It looks as if the tool takes all color away.
I have the correct tool settings: Mode: Color, Sampling: Once, Limits: Discontinuous, Tolerance: 30% and Anti-aliased is ticked.
I have also reinstalled Photoshop, but it still didn't work.
i had always seen pics where people changed the color of a car from one color to another.
my question is
1. how do you get the color to look like its the actual paint and not just color that has been replaced.
2. how do you change a car that is in white or black to a different color?
the Color Replacement Tool in PS CS4 but I can't make it work. I thought it should allow me to pick a color as the background color and replace that color with whatever I define as the foreground color. Does anyone have a good tutorial on this tool?
I'm actually trying to turn the background of a picture of my grandson black eliminating the brown blanket he's laying on. Is there an easier way than color replacement to do this?
Photoshop CS Version 8.0
I'm trying to remove red eye with the color replacement tool but the replacement color shows as grey when I have selected black. I'm using the following settings:
Mode: Color
Sampling: Once
Limits: Discontiguous
Tolerance: 30%
I am using adobe photoshop CS5, when I use color replacement tool it replace color with its own choice not mine and I have visited many blogs but no solution.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe picture here is the layout I'm working on for a site I'm making. I've gotten pretty far, and am about to do the final touches. As you can see the satyr(the horned guy hugging the "P") and the text is grey. I wan't it black.
I could do the satyr all over again, it still needs some finishing touches before I am done anyways, BUT: It took me lots of tries until I got it close to the way I want it to look.
What happens when I use the color replacement tool on it is this:
When I use black color, nothing happens.
When I use some colors, it becomes that color
And with other colors, it just blends!
What should I do? Is there another way to have the satyr intact and change the color for it? Is it even possible with the color replacement tool?
I'm trying to use the color replacement tool to fix red eye.
I have chosen black as the foreground color, but when I click on the photo, it paints light blue.
I used the color replacement tool without a problem. Today, no matter what I have set for the foreground color, the "replacing" color is grey, OR I don't see any replacing going on at all.
My mode is set to "color." I have tried all the sampling styles, check and unchecking the aliasing box and all the limits options.
I can not use the color replacement tool to replace a grey/black color on a person's head to all black. The tool keeps getting a grey not a black, even after I select black from the swatch.
Does the image file need to be something else than RGB? I have tried other color and it does work. I have tried red and it will replace all of the grey&black, but .........
For some reason I cant paint the flower that lays on the flower with the same color of the bow. replacement color tool just isn't working.
Another question. what would be the best way to get the background to be completely white 255?
I use my color replacement tool to "copy" a color from one clipart image....then use that color to replace a color on another clipart image. This has always worked for me until yesterday. This is PS6.
I copy the color (with the color replacement tool)..then when I switch to the other canvas where my 2nd clipart is....the shade changes! Even if I copy/paste the hex code--it looks different on the two canvasses. The hex number remains the same but the color is very much different. I normally use the bucket to color the 2nd clipart.
I'm trying to make the blue bottom portion of this wall match the top off-white portion. I try to paint over the blue with the color replacement tool, having set my brush to match the top wall, but when it overpaints the blue, I'm getting a much darker gray that doesn't match.

I have used the colour replacement tool as well as the Hue tool but like I said it produces a variation of the original colour and the new colour.I have also played around with desaturation but with the same colour I end up with a pink. This was just a shot in the dark.
I know there are many posts in different forums about the colour replacement tool (believe me, I've read them all) and some people have had the same problem as me but no one yet has come up with a solution.
This tool is fantastic and allows you to change the colour of an image without affecting the texture and shadows.....SOMETIMES!! Code:
For family history purposes, wish to improve the legibility of some hand written 1930 telegrams; the ink has faded with time so I want to change its colour to black. The form printing has not faded.
The user guide draws attention to the fact that the color selected for replacement must be in the image. Using the Dropper tool with sample size 1 pixel I position the dropper where I want it, see the color in the preview window, then right-click and the selected color appears in the background window on the Materials panel. So far, so good. I then place the Dropper tool over black in the swatch on the Materials panel, click and black appears in the Foreground window of the Materials panel. I think I'm set.
When I select the Color Replacer tool the background window immediately reverts to another color, usually white.Incidentally, the user guide suggests you read up on selecting colors with the Dropper; when you do this you learn that its OK to pick colors from the Materials panel.
I been trying to change the color on this car to black. I changed the color on the car by trial and error, but not to black.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an image in which I am trying to replace the black coloring in a flag to pink, but the replacement isn't going through. The flag only becomes a greyish color.
To replace the color I used Image--->Adjustments--->Replace Color and then selected the black with the eyedropper, and change the color on the bottom to the pink.
I need to change a solid black shape to a brown color, but the color replacement can't change b&w to actual colors right?
Well I know I could select it and just fill it, but it gets too pixelated; the edges on the shape are a little feathered.
When I do the color replacement tool the value changes nicley, but why can't the color change also...is there any method that can change this black shape to brown without having to cleanup the edges?
My issue is I have a panel that is a gradient background and I need to change the color from yellow to blue. I have successfully changed the solid color to 0072b9 in the top left using the Color Replacement tool, however cannot work out how to change the rest of the image.
The "swoosh" in the middle of the image seems to be a different layer perhaps? Every time I change it, it goes purple and changes the rest of the image. I wanted to fade out 0072b9. I tried to replace the more faded part towards the middle / bottom right to 5ACCFF which is getting lighter but it just dirties up.
There doesn't appear to be a sampling method for the colour replacement tool in Elements 10, whilst there is one in Elements 11 & previous versions. Can I get a plugin/download to give me the option in Elements 10?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to figure out a way to globally replace/swap one color for another within a document. My document would have multiple layers made up of solid color fills, text layers (possibly multiple colors within the copy block), and even possibly the color put into a bitmap import.
I am looking to better a workflow process in photoshop for updating website/interactive files. Sometimes this might work for updating global font color, layer effects(stroke/drop-shadows...), color layers, etc. The color swap that i am looking for is similar to if you were to update a swatch in InDesign. It would update everything using that specific color.
how to update a file in this way
I am making sets of wedding stationary for a photography studio. Each set contains an invitation, dinner card, place card etc.
Each set has a dominant color throughout the series.
What I want to do is offer each set in a variety of colors but going through each image, replacing the color in each layer with the new color for each image in the set would take forever.
Is there a way to "Batch process" this where I can replace a color in each image with a new color. I think I may have to make a separate action for each new color I want to use but that is still better than nothing.
Also, I need to keep the new images in layers as the studio wants the ability to go in and make layer changes if necessary.
I'm currently working on a project in which I'm taking still images of various products against a static background. Up to this point, I've been manually cutting the products out of their background, a very tedious activity.
Taking a step back, I realized that I have many thousands of photos to take and clean up, and that this manual manipulation just isn't going to "cut it" (pun, haha).
I have been trying to find a program of sorts that will remove a particular color (preferably specified by its hex code) from a photo, and perhaps replace it with white, or resize/crop the image.
With this program I would be able to take the pictures against an obnoxious background color that could be quickly done away with by a computer.
I guess this is known by many terms in "the industry", including chroma key, matting, compositing, etc.
I have run across a couple of possible programs (Ultimatte, Adobe After Effects), but I don't know much about any of them.
One other feature that would be, well, desired would be command-line functionality. Ideally, I would be able to incorporate said program into a script that can process a huge list of photos while I'm off doing other things.
I have a picture of a person I'm trying to alter. The person is wearing a very light yellow shirt and I am trying to replace the color with a more striking dark red. Also I'm trying to turn her skin a very pale white color (Like a geisha). I've been fiddling with the color replacement tool, but the best I've been able to get is a milky whitish red matching the light shade of the shirt. No matter what shade of red I use it always replaces the yellow with the same light red.
Is there a way to tell the color replacement tool to not keep the same light shade as the shirt and instead stay closer to the shade I've selected from the swatch?
I'm using PSE 11 and want to replace the brown color with white using the Color Replacement Brush.
Here are my Color Replacement Brush settings:
Unexpectedly, when I brush over the brown area, instead of the brown changing to white it's changing to a bluish-gray.
Why the brushed color isn't changing to white?
