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.
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.
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'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 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)?
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?

Using Photoshop CS2 9.0, Windows XP, is there any way to apply Replace Color to all layers in an image simultaneously? I'm setting up an animation, and really don't feel like going through 50+ layer/frames individually just to make some slight color adjustments which I may decide to not even use.
And, while we're on the subject, is there any way to apply other effects and tools to multiple layers in one go? Like, say, pasting and merging a selection into each layer, rather than doing it for each one separately?
I've seen plenty of tutorials on the use of the Image > Adjustments > Replace Color... tool and in all of these tutorials, they will simply slide the hue slider to a color they wish to change to. I know that in the replacement section, a user can click the color box and choose a color from the swatches, even copy and pasting a specific hex code value.
This is great for web dev work where I need a precise hex color for an image. Problem is, this doesn't work. It seems to blend the new color with the existing one. What I find myself doing is more of an iterative process then: I'll use the eye-dropper tool on this blended color, then repeat the Replace Color steps again and again until I get something close to my intended new color.
I have a document that is 8X12 with a white background.
1. create new layer 2. click on color from swatches. 3. draw a rectangle holding shift. Now I have rectangle that has a color. (Change to Pixels in options)
Can I copy that new rectangle with a different color?? Can I copy and replace that color??
Sounds simple. I can't find a method to do it!
The reason to do it this way is the rectangle will show in layer as a colored square on transparent background.
I'm attaching an image where the client has requested the dark background be made a bright color, #e48da8 for example, yet still have a believable edge from hair to background. I have made a couple of attempts which have fallen short. How can I replace that darkness with a brightish color and do it convincingly, given that the darkness comes into the hair quite a bit, and the edge is feathery?
I'm new to the forum, and new to Photoshop. I'm trying to replace a color in an image. When I click, Image > Adjustments > Replace Color, and the dialogue box opens, everything isn't showing. I've attached a screen shot of what I see. Could there be something wrong with my program or am I missing something else?
For the Replace Color Command (not the Replace Color Tool), the meaning of the Saturation slider is clear only when the slider value is negative (reducing saturation). In that case the slider reading is the percent by which the (H-L) gap is to be reduced, where H and L are the highest and lowest RGB channel values. A reading of -100 means the gap is to be completely closed. Whatever the percentage closure, it is effected by decreasing H and increasing L in equal increments proportional to the slider setting.
When the saturation slider is set to a positive number (increasing saturation), however, the meaning is not easily unearthed. The incremental changes in H and L, although still equal and opposite in algebraic sign, are now a non-linear function of the slider and the initial H and L values, but I have not been able to nail it.
The middle RGB channel plays no role in either case. With H and L set, it is adjusted to keep hue constant.
I got a lot of different text in a ps file because I'm creating a calendar for 2005. I need to change the text color of all the months for example, but without converting the text into a graphic.
Is possible to do so without having to go one by one and replacing the color?
When working in channels and need to change a 90% black to 100% black, my entire file, other channels as well, gets corrupted with ranbom blocks of black. These blocks of black can not be changed or selected.
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.
I have a .jpg where I am trying to replace the background color. I choose a sage green in the replacement color picker, and it shows properly in the dialog box, but in the actual picture I get a dark gray instead of sage green. I checked Image>Mode and it is set to RGB color. How can I get the color I want?
I would like to replace a range of colors with a single color in an image.
I know there is the replace color adjustment, but this replaces a single color e.g. 190,190,190 with another color e.g. 200, 200, 200. I would like to replace a range of colors e.g. from 185 to 195 with 200, 200, 200.
