Hi

just got the web suite which includes photoshop, to which I am a newbie and hence do not know all the terms yet.

I need to change the colour of an object in a jpeg. I used the dropper to select the colour but can’t seem to find anything akin to the psp colour changer tool. IS there such an option?

thanks

Ian

Ian,

There are a number of ways.

1.Select the area with the magic wand and then create a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer.

2.Image>Adjustments>Change colour

Those are just two ways.

Hi Thanks for that.

Actually I didn’t "create two posts" I tried one and then got the message unable to post because I wasn’t logged in. Realised my macromedia user didn’t work so re registered. Re posted but it appears my system posted the original as well.

Sorry for that and thanks for the suggestions.

cheers

Ian

Ian…

Please disable the Auto-quote feature of your newsreader and only quote selectively if necessary.

Thank you!

Ian,

I understand that in the former MM forums it was quite common to use a newsreader but that’s not the case here.

It does nothing here but clog up the screen real estate and rub the natives the wrong way.

While I prefer a newsreader myself, even on a true newsgroup, I try to snip posts to only show the appropriate material.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi

Sorry about the confusion over forum protocol…

Anyway in a previous post was suggested to use

Image>Adjustments>Change colour

I don’t have that but I do have replace colour is that the same?

thanks

Ian

yes, i think that’s what len meant ian. but note that that’s a ‘destructive’ change. i.e. once done, you can’t go back and tweak/change it.

the 1st method he described, make your selection (using magic wand, or the lasso marquee tool or whatever selection tool you’re comfortable with) then creating an adjustment layer (see the help – f1 – for full info – but quickly, look at the layers palette, see the icons at the bottom? one says ‘adjustment layer’ when you hover over it. clicking will give you several choices, choose ‘hue, saturation, lightness’) – ahem! <g> – using the adjustment layer method makes the change ‘non-destructive’. that is, you can go back at a later time and adjust the color, tone, etc. as many times as you like/need.

Hi

thanks for that, this is yet another learning curve having in the past used MAcromedia products but the purchase of the web suite has sort of forced me to use photoshop.

thanks again

Ian

Ian:

The web bundle comes with Fireworks and since you are working in jpeg I’d use it over Photoshop for this kind of work. You can adjust colours in Fireworks quite easily.
