Does your son use any other photo editing applications... And what mainly is the problem?

I thank everyone for their earlier insightsbut my son wasn't able to get it figured out. Does anyone know how to do this with Fireworks? Thanks,
Sam

Thanks

Thank you very much Megan and Demonhale for your help. I'll see what I can do with with what you guys told me. Thanks again.

With hue saturation you don't have to eyeball either. You can choose "colorize" and it will use the foreground swatch colour.

Well hue and saturation is the way its done thru eyeballing, You could try color/hue map micro adjustment to compare colors then it would match up at about 90%.... Well in Paintshop you could use different approaches, The three step process in Photoshop can be done with hue map control in paintshop...

Jascs Paintshop Pro?

Demonhale, this is Nathan. With Jascs Paintshop Pro can you choose the exact color using the color code or are you just eyeballing it like you would be doing with Photoshop and the hue/saturation? We have a file of color images that we'd like to be able to match up. Can that be done?

I tried a few doing exactly as I described above and it worked fine. Using select > color range worked well here (if you want more precision you could use masking to fine tune the selection). In the color range dialog box you can use the slider to adjust how much green to select. I found 95 to work well for this image. Then choose Image > adjust > colour range and use the hue slider to change the colour. It works fine, there's no bleeding or anything.

There will be problems here if you want to go lighter though.

Well you could try Megans Process and see that colors will bleed(in extreme color ranges)...
So you need to use layers, so that colors will be isolated(whatever color range)...

demonhale — Wed, 27 Jul 2005 19:15:59 +0000

Yeah you can do that and if the colors of the elements you dont want included is the same as the one you want to change, your image is messed up... Better use layers,...
I use Jascs Paintshop Pro for this one

Wow is right! I'm guessing if you know how to do it then it must be a fairly standard set of steps. I'm going to bring my son into this conversation and maybe you can tell him how you did it. He is fairly familiar w/ Photoshop.
Thanks again Demonhale!!!

This is Nathan, Sam's son. I tried altering the images but couldn't figure out how to do it with good end results. Was wondering if you could give me a step by step process on how you were able to alter the image colors so cleanly and quickly. It would be much appreciated. Thanks.
