Photoshop :: Recolor Picture - Replace Color Not Working
Dec 9, 2012
I have a picture that i'm trying to recolor. I'm going to image, adjustments, replace color. I'm choosing the color I want to replace and then choosing a color out of my swatch to replace it with and when the color loads onto my image it doesn't look anything like the color i chose. I don't want to use the saturation, hue, and lightness bars. I have a specific color that I want to use and it doesn't seem to be working.
The Recolor Artwork dialog does not replace the color of objects filled or stroked with pure black, either CMYK or RGB. (Yes, with the Recolor Art checkbox selected.) The dialog will replace any other color, but not black. Not even a manually created rich black. Manually selecting another color from the Color or Swatches panel does change the object's fill or stroke.
This happens with both CS6 and CS5 under Windows 7 x64. I reported it as a bug on the prerelease site. Also not sure if bug reports are still being read for the released version.
In Recolor artwork is there a way to change the black and white colors to a color? When I try to edit them it doesn't edit them at all. It would be nice if I didn't have to manually tweak the colors to have color before I go into Recolor Artwork.
I have a file with a number of artboards on which there are objetcs filled with 100% Magenta and some with 100% Magenta and 0,34% Yellow. I want to get rid of that 0,34% but Illy is refusing to cooperate.
Even selecting just two or three objects and trying to recolor using the Edit/Edit colors/Recolor Artwork dialog has no effect. I can change the color manually though, for one or more selected objects.
Is there any way to apply transparency to a color when using the recolor artwork box? I am dealing with a lot of puppet warp and gradients so it would be nice if I could use the recolor artwork box, instead of looking for all the colors manually.
As you can see from the screenshot, there is a lot of colors to go through.
working in CS6, OS 10.6.8. I'm working on a 3-color screen print CD label, and the colors will be a white background, plus black and a PMS color. I've been recoloring some CMYK artwork to use in the design, and really liked the results of Recolor Artwork (selecting only black and the spot color), until I noticed that when I selected "tints & shades" it converted everything with black in it to process (which I know Adobe says is why you shouldn't select that option).
But my question is, how can I get the same effect (that is, using shades of the spot color "mixed" with black) without having it convert the shades to process? I'm sure it involves overprinting, but I'm hitting a big hole in my knowledge.
I just need to go from K and tones of K to a spot color and tones of a spot color.
I'm using recolor artwork because I can't merge into K. The art comes in from our customers as K so we can't just design differently.
The rectangles on the right are k and tones of k. The rectangles on the left are the results after converting to a spot color with recolor artwork. Using recolor artwork. I just need a way to accurately move the tones from k to a spot.
A while back I saw a video about using the video editing capabilities. In particular the video showed a car with a colored sheet over it and the in the video the sheet was either pulled off the car or the car moved out from under the sheet (I cant remember which). Then the video showed how to use the color replace tool to change the color of the sheet throughout the entire video.
I have a star that I would like in a specific color, but am having issues changing it with the replace color and/or color replacement tool. The image is small, but I am trying to have all the pixels. The color I want to use is Pantone solid uncoated 655 U. This is the image I am trying to change.
The recolor tool does not recolor shades into shades but only shades into a fixed color. Eg if I have a gradient blue to green and recolor the green into red, then it won't be a gradient anymore. Also, using eg. antialiasing for lines you get lighter shades of the chosen color, again maing it problematic to change the line into another color. What to do?
trying to replace the color of my deck with paint samples i got for my company.. im trying to match it, but if u look in the forground color selector its the one i want but when i pain it on it comes out different...
I have two photos, shooted probably the same day, by the same photograph in the same place !But the pose is a bit different. first one is in high resolution and in black & white nuance. second one is a small resolution and in full colors.
I wish re-color the black&white photo using exactly the same nuance from the colored one.
can i "copy" all the colors from the color-one to the b&w one ?
i hope there is a quick way to do that with adobe photoshop or with a commercial plugin. Something like : i load the first one (color), i load the second one (b&n), and i press Ok and magic appears !

I'm trying to use the Image -> Replace Color tool in photoshop cs5 to replace one color in a jpg with another from the same image.It wont let me. The new color has to be from the palate apparently??
A basic question for a basic user. I have a layer in an image which I created by using a paintbrush to create a shape using the colour black on a transparent background. I want to change this outline shape to a certain green. I go to Image/Adjustments/Replace Color. I click the radio button called Image and I see my black outline on a white background. The colour in the little boxes is black, same as outline.
I change the foreground colour to the green I wish to use and this changes the colour in the little boxes in the Replace Color window to that green. However, whichever eyedropper I choose to click on the black outline in the image just changes the colour in the little boxes back to black. So it is working in reverse to what I want to happen. How can I get the outline to turn from black to green?
I would like to know if there is a method to replace all of one color, with another. I am working with a graphic, and not a picture, so I have it easy, but I would still like to know.
I am new to photoshop, but it has served me well so far.
I have in my document a green brush-stroke, with very feathered edges (brushsize=47px, hardness=0). I want to replace all of it with red. I selected Replace Color effect, and all is fine- for the central green that is. It becomes red. But the blurry green edges remain green, even with maxed Fuzziness.
It's possible in photoshop cs to replace a color by an other? I have a black part in my picture (rgb = 0) and i want to replace this color by a red color (rgb = 255).
I have a document with a number of layers. Each layer has lines of a single pure colour.
When I try to replace a colour, Photoshop is replacing it with the wrong one!
For instance when I try to replace RGB 128,0,128 with 96,56,17, the outcome is 105,61,18. I try to replace 212,0,212 with 96,56,17, the outcome is 145,85,25.
In the colour picker dialogue, the radio button R of RGB is currently selected. Web safe is not enabled. The file is RGB, 8bits, so this seems reasonable. The eyedropper tool is set to point sample, but as I said the lines are pure colour anyway.
The layers are all at default settings for blending etc.
One thing I have noticed is that when I click on the 'result' colour panel in the replace colour dialogue, the colour is always out by 1 in the blue channel. Since I change this using the RGB numbers, this should not impact the result either.
I am replacing a color using the 'replace color' under 'Image->Adjustments' to match a certain color. Is there a way where i can replace the selected color by typing in RGB values instead of moving the Hue, saturation, and lightness sliders? The sliders doesnt provide exact color matching, instead i have been eyeballing the colors to match, which is dangerous when it comes to deatail.
i have an image with a white background that i would like to change to a specific shade of gray. obviously replace color would seem like what i needed to do, but i can't get it to function properly...basically all i want to do is select white and replace all white color in the image with the gray color ( i have the rgb/hsb values for the color i want). but everytime i use replace color, it will allow me to alter the hue, sat, etc values for any color in the image that i select except for white. when i select white, and then try to change the values, the color is always the same, with the exception that when i lower the brightness it becomes dark. i wanted to do a search to try to find this answer myself but i'm beginning to wonder if replace color is the command i should be using. even if there was some way to change the white to transparent i could put a layer of gray behind it and that would work, but i haven't been able to do that either.
I am trying to visualize paint colors in my house and figured the easiest way is to play around in Photoshop. But I cannot seem to find a way to virtually paint the walls in my room. I've tried doing a color fill with overlay and I've also tried doing a layer adjustment with Replace Color. In both situations, the results are not completely satisfactory. The resulting "virtual paint" color does not exactly resemble the color I selected and has too many ranges...for example, when I choose a mid-range green, the color on my selection ranges from almost white in certain areas to a dark green. Can anyone think of a way to accurately depict a virtual paint color (while still keeping the lighting and textures intact)?
I have a image that has everything on the background layer. I want to delete some text and replace them with different text. But when i use the selection tool to delete the text, i just get a white/black check box area. How do i delete a portion of the picture and replace it with white blank space?
Oh and how do i adjust the size of the text box when inserting new text?
So i would like to have 3 images with differents border colour: one FAC6C8 border, one BFE9D3 border and one FAC6C8 border. I note that an other image will be add in the center of the image; this last image has all the 4 coulour at the same time (FAC6C8,BFE9D3,FFFBBF et BFBFBF) I think that i should select the border (to not influence the coulours of the centre's image) and remplace it by the wanted colour ... but how to do it?
I made a simple gradient from black to white, then went to Select>ColorRange and used the sample color I had - #848484. I set the fuzziness to 0 to restrict the selection to only that color and then pressed OK. It selected three pixels. I copy and paste these into a new document to make it easier to see them. Now here's the glitchiness: I eyedrop each of the three pixels to see what their hexadecimal values are. One is 848484, another is 848484, but the last one is 848585. Why is Photoshop selecting an 848585 colored pixel when I'm telling it to only select a 848484 colored pixels? I would assume that setting fuzziness all the way down to 0 would restrict the selection to EXACTLY the color you specify, but it doesn't appear to be doing that. Is there any way around this? This is important because I'm trying to select specific colors that are not used as much and replace them with colors used more often in the image.
I've a blue car picture and will change it to red . I tried to use the replace color but it doesn;t work correctly. Which tool do you use to replace the color?
