2 color reversing in PS

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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
