Also this option provided by chown can be useful when remapping uid or gid:
--from=CURRENT_OWNER:CURRENT_GROUP
change the owner and/or group of each file only if its current
owner and/or group match those specified here. Either may be
omitted, in which case a match is not required for the omitted
attribute.
That said, find can give you more flexibility.
