Can anyone tell me how i can replace the yellow with another color in this image? What would be the easiest and most accurate way of doing it?

I would use "Selective Color". Quick, easy and accurate.

Exactly what i was looking for, thanks man.

Y/W. Just click "yellows" on the dropdown and have a play around with the sliders. You can use the eyedropper too if you want.

I was going to suggest the Hue & Saturation and select Yellow from the dropdown, but Selective Color would do it too.

Actually I like your suggestion better because Hue and Saturation allows a brightness adjustment as well.

I prefer to use "Color Range" for the replacemnt of the specific color. This tool with much less effort provides effective way of replacing color.

Hope my suggestion proves worthwhile to you !!!

I'm not that familiar with Color Range. Can you tell me the least number of clicks that it takes you, to apply a change to the yellow in the graphic?

I'm an awful troublemaker.

But seriously, I don't know if I'm overlooking something or what, because it seems to me that our suggestions are quicker = less effort.

Totally. Another way would have been to make an RGB mask.... Could also use the Wand tool and ctrl-click... But all in all... With this, there aren't any other shades of yellow in the graphics so a simple hue shift of the yellow range would do the job.

If there was more yellow in there, like yellow you 'didn't want to have changed' then yeah... One could make a little more effort. But even then... you can use the Marquee tool to block off the 'yellow' you wanted to affect from the rest of the image and still hue it.

I guess we all have our preferred ways. With a program like Photoshop, it's so dense, there's bound to be half a dozen ways to do the same thing.

Yeah true.

i would've done the hue/sat way....

wanna go try the selective color now tho.

Atom · 12-13-2007, 07:48 PM

Hue/Sat is what I usually use because it has the brightness adjustment. Apparently you can achieve a non linear change with SC, selectively, and I think this may offer more possibilities of a detailed change within a given primary color. I'm not sure this is the way it works, but, it seemed right to me after seeing how Hue/Sat worked, in the Photoshop Index, and comparing it to how SC works. I should go back and read that stuff again though..

Most of the area other than the yellow region is white and gray in this particular picture, so I think hue and sat is the quickest n best way as it gives control over saturation also which changes so rapidly as u change the hue.
