Learning curve in color replacement brush

First of all, let me say that I still consider myself novice stage.

I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 and have been experimenting with color replacement brush.  I have a photo of an interior corridor to the beige walls and wanted to change the color of the walls in medium grey.  The program doesn't let me do according to the previous discussions that gray is not a color.  I tried to play with hue, saturation, etc., but am not having any luck.  The trim and doors in the picture are white, Maple floor and the off-white ceiling.  Y at - it a trick or a process that I'm missing?  Any help is very appreciated.

Thanks for the tip of Barbara!

What you have done is very close to the color I want to use.  I'm going to try it tonight and let you know how I make out.

Have a great day!

    Hi colem.

    It might be possible that the color replacement tool has moved under the edition toolbar option.

    Go to the Edit menu > Toolbar > restore default > check again under flyout brush and it should be there now.

    Kind regards

  • Replace color replaced by Dark, perhaps almost black instead of color I want

    Using Win7, CS6. When I try to replace color, say red with pink, the target turns dark, almost black. I tried every setting I can think, but I can't work. Any thoughts would be appreciated

    To change the colors, it's always depends on the color values you are trying to change amd how much detail you want to keep in your image.

    on a personal level, I prefer not to use the color replacement tool,

    what I do in this simple case is to use the brush with different blending modes

  • How can I make the color replacement tool works correctly?

    I want to turn black to green in a chart B & w.  Here's the chart that I start by:

    celtic cross.png

    Here are the directions I followed (EP 13):

    Replacement of color

    • Select the tool, color replacement (the tool replace color is part of the Brush Tool Options bar).
    • Menu, choose a brush in the options bar. Mode, as a general rule, you'll want to keep the blending mode set to color.
    • For limits, choose one of the following:

      Batch Replaces the color sampled, wherever it occurs under the pointer of.

    Contiguous Replaces colors that are contiguous with the color under the pointer.

  • To tolerance, specify a small percentage to replace colors very similar to the pixel you click, or increase the percentage to replace a wider range of colors.
  • To give a smooth edge areas that you correct, select anti-aliased.
  • Choose the required sampling method. The available options are:

    Continues Continuous color samples, when you drag the color replacement tool.

    Once Samples of color only once, when you begin to drag the color replacement tool.

  • Background swatch Replaces the box containing the background color, whenever you drag the color on it replace tool.

  • Choose a foreground color to use to replace the unwanted color.
  • Click the color you want to replace in the image.
  • Drag the image to replace the target color.
  • And here is the result I get:

    celtic cross - green.png

    I chose very carefully the darker more deep black as the color to be replaced and all blacks should have turned to green, but only gray pixels on the edges did it.  Oh, and here's a screenshot selected as I am, even though I have tried many different combinations:

    black to green.JPG

    Help? I am a novice, so I need descriptive and explicit suggestions.  Thank you!!

    There are means other than the color tool replacement for what you want to do, which is to add color to a drawing in black or any other color.

    -First of all, use the magic wand tool to select the color (here black). You should see the "mobile dash" around the shape. Do not forget to uncheck "continuous."

    -Create a new layer while keeping the active selection (new layer in the layer Panel icon)

    -Menu Edition/fill selection"." Choose your destination color.

    The new layer now holds your shape with the color you have chosen.

  • Can I avoid results pixelated when using color replacement?

    PSE9 running under Mac OS X 10.6.


    I'm editing a picture (originally.jpg) of jewelry green (on a silver necklace) with a gray background.  I want to change the grey to a pale pink.


    At first, I tried the magnetic Lasso to select jewelry followed by replacement of color, but the intricacies of the silver necklace and the thin wires of the hooks (breakthroughs) earrings seem to confuse the Lasso in loss of detail.  Then I thought that I had a bright idea: ignore the detailed selection, select the entire photo and let the color replace non-contiguous to do its job.  I don't know how that affects the detail of the result yet, because I'm more concerned of pixels about 3 mm from a variety of colors which replaced the gray background.  Change the blur didn't remove the pixelation, and I have no idea why the variety of colors is being implemented.


    Where, oh where am I wrong?

    Here's how to get the results below:

    1 filled in the upper left corner of the image with the Clone Stamp tool

    sampling on areas below. (makes it easier to choose if the gray)

    rather, it is the same everywhere)

    2 has used the magic wand with contiguous not checked and clicked on tool

    grey in the picture.

    3 inverted this selection; Filters > adjustments > invert

    4. has created a new color adjustment layer filling; Layer > new fill layer > solid color

    and the color in the color picker dialog box (you can later change the color

    by double clicking on the fill color icon in the layers panel)

    5. you can have the zoom in close and fill in the boxes you don't want rosy by painting

    on the color fill layer mask United with a brush. Use a black brush to show more of the

    Necklace (hide the rose).

    Use a white brush to add more rose.

    The Replace Color tool does not work so good on images like this, that's why

    a solid color fill adjustment layer is a better choice.

  • Dream Weaver learning curve!

    Hello! OK first of all sorry for the long posting!. I'm learning Flash CS3 + Dreamweaver, an experienced Illustrator and Photoshop user. Creating a Web site and I would really appreciate a heads-up with advice or suggestions to help my learning curve!

    DESCRIPTION OF DESIGN
    Screen Format 720px 650px (L) (W) is this OK or should I consider another dimension?

    Site frame structure
    The format of the rectangle will be 75% between the upper edge to the two third down with change of the flash elements and text in dreamweaver user clicks on buttons. The remaining 25% will be in the navigation area with a constant background graphic static across the site with animated flash buttons that would change to help the user through the star area 75%. Hope this kind of sense?

    From that I can try now to explain what I want to achieve. White screen with a symbol to click to enter the website.
    area of 75% is considered a flash animation and plays once completely. Play a few images continuously until the navigation area of 25% on a button will appear once the animation has played once revealing buttons and a button to navigate the user.

    By clicking on the button on the box of 75% is replaced by a slide in motion Graphic occupying the space of 75% complete background. The idea is to appear as if you are moving toward the front of the edge left screen format to the right edge. Through all the five buttons will occur the same blade in motion with a different background graphic. All areas navigues 5 I want function copies in Dreamweaver (rather than in the animated file) my design currently uses Helvetica regular
    14 points and 24 points leader. How can I create a text in Dreamweaver with the design. Or do I put type in my flash file?

    Are there templates I could use to achieve this effect? The best tips for creating a site like this, from scratch?
    My design layout is currently in Illustrator and Photoshop CS3. You are looking to use CS3; new features of compatible program.

    Flash Animation Question?. I would like to create a flashing effect, revealing a picture. For example, the word CHOCOLATE
    Appears and disappears with a movement of flashing. Any suggestions?

    Search engine friendly

    The reason for the use of text in Dreamweaver has been trying to look for Optimum results. Ideally, this is the way I would go, and would appreciate help with my limited knowledge.

    If I call my CHOCOLATE site, rather that my not very well knows the name, that have a greater incidence of search engine? My domain name is (XXX chocolate)

    Can I paste the keywords in the background text blind to have an impact on the results of my research?

    The best advice in the naming of the files, I can record the image files as a keyword for example names... CHOCOLATE LOVE... BELGIUM CHOCOLATE etc.

    Once more really appreciate any help with the learning curve!




    Thanks Darrel, sorry for the slow reply, your suggestiins made me rethink my approach. I have now created a Dreamweaver site with flash as part of the page content in order to achieve KRP. Still on a major learning curve and about to post some additional questions. Thank you

  • Color replacement tool - selected swatch is different from what is painted

    I spent hours trying to solve it, so the new position.  I'm changing the shirt colors for specific RGB numbers for a site that sells T-shirts.  I tried image > adjustments > replacecolors and am now trying the color replacement tool.  All works fine EXCEPT the color of the shirt does not match the color, I selected in the color picker.   I feel like there is something not checked, but I check opacity, blend, etc..  What else could I try?

    Color replacement tool.JPG

    You have set the tool to change the color (hue and saturation), while preserving the brightness (brightness/clarity) of the region you repainted.  And you painted something quite dark.

    You are only ingredients in 2 of the 3 coordinated colors. If you painted all 3, you would have a flat color (like a Paint Bucket fill), not a replacement of realistic colors.

    You can use the settings to lighten or darken the shape that you change after the replacement of the color.

    No, he didn't need to go to the LAB and make things more complicated.

  • color replacement tool

    10 items, when I use the color replacement tool to replace the Red nail polish on a photo, I set the foreground color rose, but the replacement of color sets a dark gray color?

    You cannot use this tool this way in the last two versions of PSE. It will replace a color with another color, but that's all. You can't make red to pink, although you should be able to make red to green equivalent. You would be better to use something like a hue/saturation adjustment layer. The color replacement tool is simply too difficult to control. It seems broken.

  • Click on a header of every time I change my color/tool/brush size etc. on CS6 & El Capitan

    OK, it drives me absolutely crazy. My CS6 has been slow for a bit, but since the upgrade to El Capitan, I'm losing my mind. Whenever I want to change brush size, fast replacement of the tools, zoom in or out, basically anything, I first have to click the image generally on the program header and then I can't change. Otherwise, none of the keyboard shortcuts work and nothing is last updated on the screen. The spot Healing Brush tool does not update unless I do this or cure somewhere else. The clone tool drags and won't appear not updated until I do it. The list is long. I tried to delete my preferences file and that did not work. Optimize my Mac did not work (this is a new Mac is told by the way). Nothing worked! This makes editing a bit tortuous. Suggestions? I quickly fell I also use Wacom tablet in case this has nothing to do with it.

    John, there's always a choice. And in fact I just had a friend call me an answer about 1 minute after I posted this. Menus, shortcuts, Lasso tool, or Photoshop constantly run when using a Wacom tablet. Mac OS worked perfectly. There is no need to further improve.

  • Curves created w / Illustrator brush expand - HELP!

    Hi all - I recently bought a surface 4 pro, mainly of the sketch and the General work with Illustrator. I'm not used to the pressure sensitivity, but I don't think that helps my problem.

    I have a coup.25 with the Brush tool and whenever I draw a line curved, say a flower petal or a loop, the curved end of the petal ends up bigger, but not pressure. All my settings angle and pressure are set to "fixed." Has anyone else had this problem when working on a tablet or with a pen?

    Thanks in advance

    Here is an example of what happens:

    The screenshot shows that you have applied at least three layers of release. The settings for each of them influence you have, and then brush in the background layer. I suggest that you turn off adjustment layers and check to see if a color painted on the background layer works normally. If she doesn't add each rear adjustment layer, one at the time and a test to see which produces the result that you are showing here. In addition, after the full panel layer and the original image, not worked.

    Have you tried adding an empty layer and paint on it? Have you checked to see if resetting the Brush tool has an effect?
