To swap out colors, first you need to tell the computer what color you would like to adjust. The simplest way to do that is by selecting the hand tool within the adjustment layer panel, then clicking within the photo on the color you would like to swap before you click OK. With the color selected, use the hue, saturation and lightness sliders to adjust the color. Hue will make complete color changes, while saturation effects how vivid the color is and lightness adjusts the shade of that color.
The gray brackets in between the rainbow-colored sliders at the bottom illustrate what colors you have selected. By dragging the ends of the bracket, you can adjust what colors are included. The middle section of brackets are for the main color, while the outer brackets pick up a bit of the surrounding colors.
Once you have the correct color range selected, you can then use the hue slider to adjust the color. Once you are happy with your selection, go ahead and hit the ok button. If you want your selection to focus on particular area of an image, you can activate the Localized Color Clusters — available in CS4 and higher. With this selected, the previously greyed out Range slider becomes active.
By reducing the Range, Photoshop will localise its selection to the points closest to the areas you selected with your Eyedropper tool. In this case, we're not going to use this as we want to select all instances of the foreground colour in our picture. With your selection made and active you now want to add a new Adjustment Layer. This is how you are going to change the colours in your image.
Name your layer and click OK. Inside the Properties panel, you will see a number of sliders: Hue, Saturation and Lightness. Adjust the Hue slider to change the colour of the selection. The Saturation slider controls the intensity of the colour, while the lightness slider controls the brightness and darkness. As you adjust the slider the colours will change in the bottom coloured bar.
The first bar shows the original colour, and the second bar displays the adjustments you made. Now it's time to tidy up your selection. Using a Brush tool, you can begin to paint out the areas you want to remove from your selection. The great thing about using this technique with the Adjustment Layer is that you can easily turn the layer off, go back and make changes to selection, and make adjustments to the colour.
What's more, nothing is permanent. All you have to do is check the invert box. Here you have the option of choosing effects like Sepia and Old style. On the other hand, you could use the custom option and reduce the saturation to zero to create a monochrome effect. Try 8 bit mode — it sort of worked for me. You probably see the gradient tool, just whole your mouse button down on that image and it will expand giving you the option to use the paint bucket.
Make a selection for the area you wish to replace the color — select, color range 2. Thank you so much.

And the Adobe site assumes too much prior knowledge. In the end I tried just using the old fashioned paint bucket tool, and it worked perfectly. I have a picture with a girl wearing a white shirt taken on a white background. For example, if there was an area of blue you wanted to be black you would have to move either the Cyan or the Blue slider depending on the hue of what you want to change — I would try to use both if it were possible, just to be safe and bring the marker into the blackest part of the slider.
Of course, this could result in unwanted areas being adjusted if not slected correctly. Here it is:. In the change color, following the instructions after many tries, I could not do it. I got to the change colorwindow okay, I click it onto select, then I used the right hand eyedropper to pick up the color I wanted to change to, then the plus eyedropper for color I wanted to change, clicked okay and nothing.
I reversed the the process with colors, hit okay, nothing. I was not able to get the top color box different from the bottom color bax. Spent three hours trying to get this thing to work.
