hi all!
this time your help is asked on how to reverse the colors in a 2 color
image.
Note. i do not speak of inverting the colors, but of swaping
them...(changing one to another)
more specifically, I have a pic of a hard cover notebook in Green, where the
green has been peeled off or is worn in places exposing the raw tan/light
brown paper original color bellow.
what i want to do, is make the cover color tan/light brown, and the worn
areas green.
i tried channel mixer, achieving the green hue i needed but not the tan
one...
another way i tried, was to make a new layer, mark with the magic wand all
the original green areas (since the tan ones are like islands within the
green), make a mask, load the selection, clear, deaturate it and tinker with
the color balance...
then i repeated the same process again, in second new layer and after
inversing the selection & using the color balance again, i made tan areas
where greens had been....
but i still not get the colors wished, so i need your help here...is there
another way? how does "replace colors" work ?
and is there another way all together?
thanks, kostas
