Photoshop :: Colour Replacement Advice
Aug 10, 2009
I'm planning to do some giclee prints involving scans of original watercolour paintings of botanical subjects. Because of the nature of the subject, 90% of the content of the image is actually the original art paper with nothing on it.
The 'nothing' still has a colour of course (creamy off-white), and when I print on to a similarly-coloured fine art inkjet paper I get a darker background than the original because I'm effectively finishing up with two lots of background. Is there a way I can make the background a lighter shade that doesn't involve use of one of the selection tools?

I am using CS6 and the Replace Colour Tool no longer allows me to replace multiple colours when I select the + . So when I have the panel open and I highlight the +, I used to then be able to click on several spots in my image and all of the colours that are in those spots are added to the selected colours that will be changed by using the sliders.
But now, when I use the + it has exactly the same effect as not using it - I can only choose one colour or an other, I can't add.....I want to reset this to the original way that this works.
Currently I have to open the panel, change one variation of a colour, save it, then re-open the panel and do it again (and again and again) until all the colour variations I am trying to remove are are changed. I know I also have the 'fuzziness' slider, but it does not give enough control.

I am trying to change a silver to a deep reddish brown but when I try the colour is off..Here is what I have tried.
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:

I use Photoshop CS3 and have multi layer PSD with which I am creating web graphics. The PSD is set up to export layer comps to files to produce a standardised set of graphics. The website has a standardised palette of 4 colours.
The vector and raster graphics within the PSD use these standard colours, however when we apply the colour scheme of a new client to the document, I have to go through the document and manually change all the colours.
I would like to find a way to globally and directly substitute one colour for another by effectively substituting one hex code for another, thus avoiding editing the layers one by one.

I'm trying to replace a colour in PE9 (Enhance > Adjust Color > Replace Color) but it's only replacing the luminosity, not the colour.
For example, I'm trying to replace a pasty white with full red (255,0,0) and it just comes out grey....
I can't find any switches for 'color/luminosity/hue' etc

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?

I bought a full copy of Photoshop 7 some years ago and have bought all the upgrades right up to CS3.
Does that allow me now to purchase CS4 (when its released) as an upgrade to CS3 or do I have have to go back to buying a full copy of CS4?

I posted a copyright notice on my webpage asking people specifically not to abuse the copyright of my colourised images. These images are mainly 1900-1950's actresses, you know the sort of thing, Lillian Gish - Liz Taylor. Anyway, someone on the Louise Brooks forum said a friend had questioned my right to colourise these images in the first place, then claim copyright on what I had done. Now I don't want to be in the wrong, not to mention claim what I don't have a right to. Can someone "briefly" advise here. All I am saying, basically, is please do not use my work on your webpage, without asking.
If I have no right to ownership, should I remove my newly uploaded website and images? There are so many others on the net that I feel the "original" owners accept that's how it is. After all, I have never in 8 years of being online heard of any complaints, not to mention prosecutions.

I'm looking to build a new system (X48 motherboard, Q9450 quad core proc, 8GB ECC RAM, Vista64). I'd like to run with only 2 drives to keep the system relatively quiet but realize that a 3 drive config would be better for Photoshop performance. I do some photo editing and Web work with Photoshop so I'm not working with very large files but I do tend to have a lot of files and apps open at the same time.

Whenever I create a new colour in the colour swatches it only stays there for a couple of actions while working on a project. I understand from others that once they create a colour it stays there. Why can't I get that to happen?

I am designing a T Shirt for my ski club.I have taken an image from a banner (made in illustrator, full colour image attached) and I want to devide into a 3 colour image for the t shirt (I am only allowed 3 colours for printing).The colours I want to use are black, white and purple. The colour of the t shirt is a light blue.I want to then put the purple logo on top of the white and black too.So I'm after a black and white grunge background with a punchy purple logo on the top.All of this should be on a tranparent or, for design purposes, light bue (same as T Shirt colour) background.
how to split a full colour image into using only 3 (4 including transparent/light blue background) exact colours.
If I were going to black and white I might convert to grey scale and then paint areas to fully white or fully black using an overlay brush I don't think this works for me for more than just black and white though.
I have attached two of my attempts where I used the colour range selection and level adjustments. Niether was really successful though (one does not use the right colours or number of colours but looks quite cool).

I will like to find out the colour code for the background colour on a particular web address. Unfortunately I am new here so not allowed to post links so will say this as creatively as possible. the address is theregentlagos (with the usual prefix beginning with w and suffix beginning with c for all websites). I am referring to the colour where the menu items like logo, home, brands etc are on.

I've been asked to convert an image to 2 colour for printing. I have the image as a full colour CMYK layout (with layers), but the whole thing needs to be converted to 2 colour. I have the pantone reference numbers for the 2 colours it is to be converted to. I am familiar with the hue/saturation tool, but this just seems to convert it to one colour, and you have no fine control over the exact colour you want.

I have a PS (7.0) layer and want to replace speicfic RGB values with a nother RGB value. For example replace RGB (220,220,220) with RGB (125,135,145). I am trying to create an action to automate this process for multiple PSD.files (approx 50) that need the same RGB value conversion. I tried using the "replace color" but this defined an area to modify not a specific RGB value.

I've seen some stunning "face replacements". I just can't get the textures of the two source photo's to match perfectly. For instance a coarse photo from a newspaper and a high res photo. I use PS CS6.

I 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?

I cannot find my copy of CS2 to install on new machine. It was actually an upgrade from CS that I had downloaded...somewhere...I called Adobe and was told they cannot supply a replacementI would need to upgrade to CS3 (which I'm not interested in at the moment). I find this hard to believe...have I been informed correctly? Any ideas how to obtain a replacement (not interested in cracks, btw)?
OR can someone tell me the exact filename of the original download so I can refine my search on my old PC?

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.

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.
