Hi I have a picture of a person I'm trying to alter. The person is wearing a very light yellow shirt and I am trying to replace the color with a more striking dark red. Also I'm trying to turn her skin a very pale white color (Like a geisha). I've been fiddling with the color replacement tool, but the best I've been able to get is a milky whitish red matching the light shade of the shirt. No matter what shade of red I use it always replaces the yellow with the same light red.

Is there a way to tell the color replacement tool to not keep the same light shade as the shirt and instead stay closer to the shade I've selected from the swatch? (Or is there another technique to accomplish this?)


thanks,

Will

Use the saturation slider and lightness slider in the colour replacement dialog box, after you have applied the colour replacement.

The best method depends on the image itself, you should post it.
