RE: Deleting/replacing a color

To change a color in Photoshop is a bit tricky.  Unlike PSP where you get
your indexed colors for a gif image and can select an individual color and
modify it, you have to play with this process for a bit before it becomes
easy to use.

1. Open an image (either a jpg or a gif)
2. Use the color selector to pick your color - If you want it narrowly
defined, set the Tolerance to 0-5 - whatever you need.
3. Once you have that area picked, select the Channels tab
4. In RGB mode you'll see the original colored image and three other
channels for Red, Green, and Blue.
5. At the side of the tab you'll find a triangle pointing to the right -
click it and select New Spot Channel.
6. You'll get the color of your selection
7. Click on the color and modify it to whatever you want

Another way is to do Image | Adjust | Curves and play with the curve line,
but this will change all colors simultaneously.

That's it!  Hope it helps

Subject:	Deleting/replacing a color

In Photoshop or IR, could anyone tell me the process of selecting one color
in an image and deleting or replacing it?  I'm talking about replacing the
same color everywhere in the image, for instance, if you have several
objects that are some specific RGB, can I then replace that with some other
specfici RGB of my choice.
