Replace Brush

Steps in replacing a color:

 

•Open the Replace Color tool panel
•Select a Source Color by clicking in the image with the SHIFT key pressed
•Set the Tolerance to a value below 255, if you want to widen the selected color range, i.e. if you selected blue, you may want to include green
•Use the Color Picker or the Color Panel to select the color you want to replace the source color with
•Activate the Brush, and define Radius and Opacity
•Start painting (replacing)
•Use the Eraser Brush to correct overflows

 

Important: shades of gray will not be replaced, including black and white. The Color Replacer is a very innovative tool, which preserves the texture in colored areas. Since shades of gray make up the texture of an image, they are not touched by the color replacer brush. If you want to replace black or white with a color, or a color with black or white, turn off the Preserve Texture option.

 

Currently, the Replace Brush does not support transparency.
