Using Photoshop CS2 on a Windows XP Professional platform.
I have a (300dpi) CMYK phhoto image of a cross section of blades of grass set against a whitish "sky."
I need that "sky" to be a shade of green, so I tried to use Replace Color to change the "sky" color from white to a dark green (C78 M41 Y81 K35). Used the eyedropper in the Replace Color tool to select that whitish sky color, and it seems to recognize the areas I want changed, then I click on the result color and use the CMYK settings in there to set up the green that I want the selected area to become…
BUT the "result" color in the actual photo image keeps ending up as a dull muddy gray. I eyedropper that and it’s not the CMYK mix I wanted at all!
Hoped to use this because of the irregular contours of the many blades of grass against that backdrop (it’d be a select/fill nightmare).
The hue of green (the actual CMYK mix) must match a solid backdrop in an area in the InDesign file into which I’m going to place the grass cross section image.
Any suggestions on why I can’t get the replacement color to actually BE that green?
