Kostas After reading your e-mail thouroughly I realized you are already aware of the Replace Color command. Using the eye droppers you make a selection which can be expanded or contracted with the slider. If the two colors you mentioned are separated enough on the color wheel you should be able to get a fairly decent selection. Then use the Hue,Saturation,Lightness sliders to change the color to match what you have in mind.One color at a time.

It allows you to make a selection and change the color at the same time. I'm sure there are many ways to do it. This is one of the things I like about Photoshop, there are numerous ways of doing just about everything, depending on how much you want to get into it. Good luck. > > John > > > ---------- > > From: owner-photoforum@listserver.isc.rit.edu@MOORECORP on behalf of kostas papakotas <kostaspapakotas@hotmail.com> > > Reply To: photoforum@listserver.isc.rit.edu > > Sent: Monday, September 8, 2003 3:57 AM > > To: List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students > > Subject: 2 color reversing in PS > > > > 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 > > > > > > =============================================== > > so... no matter what, CHEER UP MY FRIENDS!
