I’ve looked at the help for the Color Replacement Tool in PS CS4 but I can’t make it work. I thought it should allow me to pick a color as the background color and replace that color with whatever I define as the foreground color. Does anyone have a good tutorial on this tool?

I’m actually trying to turn the background of a picture of my grandson black eliminating the brown blanket he’s laying on. Is there an easier way than color replacement to do this?

I have found the forum search function is not real useful. But if you google color replacement tool if get several hits. They are for CS3, but probably not any difference in basic technique.

Hard to say without seeing the picture. I suspect that cropping around the image with a selection tool and then filling that area with a color is more what you are looking to do.
