I have a photograph of the outside of a home while under construction. The front door is white and hasn’t been painted yet. My client needs to use the photograph for marketing purposes and would like the door to be "painted."
The color that the door will eventually be is maroon and this color is already present within the photograph (it’s in the color scheme in the facia of the home) so I thought that I could simply: 1) create a selection outlining the door, 2) use the eye dropper to select the correct color from the facia and 3) use the Color Replacement tool to re-color the door with the correct color as the foreground color. But it doesn’t work.
Instead of the correct dark maroon color I’m getting a light pink color!?!? The home also has some dark brown paint in it and I was playing around and re-colored that to see what would happen…and it worked great! The brown was turned into the perfect maroon!
Why doesn’t the Color Replacement tool work on the white door as well as it works on some of the dark brown accents? Is there some kind of opacity control for the tool that I’m not aware of? What do I need to do to make it work for the white door?
Not knowing what the problem is the following may be overkill! The Options settings for the Color Replacement tool are: 1) Brush diameter=50; Brush hardness=100%; Brush spacing=25%; Brush angle=0; Brush roundness=100%; Brush size=pen pressure; Brush tolerance=off, 2) Mode=Color, 3) Sampling=Continuous; 4) Limits=Contiguous; 5) Tolerance=93%; 6) Anti-Aliased is selected.
Please help…thanks!
