I could not find ( fast paging admitted) a way to change the color of in image in CS2 to Pseudo color, in either’ Photoshop for Photographers – Martin Evening’ "Classroom in a Book’ or "How to do everything in PS’. I also own most of the versions for CS as well, and believe me, I went through more books and hours on Internet & Search machines. And all that, while I could have asked here:-)

Of course the colors can be distressed in Brightness/Contrast but there should be a more sophisticated way.
One of the composite methods in Corel Painter is very well Pseudo Color, but I want to be able to do it in PS as well.

Hi Dave,

One way would be to use curves to remap the colors, or Hue/Sat to manipulate individual color ranges.

Or the "Replace color…" function.

Sorry for only replying now Mike, but I spend time on both, and you are right of course, curves it will be. Before asking, I tried doing it with curves, and could not get what I wanted. After you said curves, I went back and learned that I have to clip the colors to get what I want. Suddenly it is relative easy with the exception that the program does not decide what the Pseudo value will be, but I do.

Hue/Saturation is not as easy (because I spend less time on it) and Waldo’s idea of using ‘replace color’ would be the last alternative of course, but also useable. Thanks Waldo
