I need a little help here, folks, if possible. I have an image where I need to make everything the same shade. It’s all one color. The best way I can describe it is this: imagine you had a blue box. However, within the blue box, there are some random, non-definite shaped areas that are of a lighter shade and other areas of a darker blue shade. I need to somehow make everything within the box the same shade of blue. I’ve tried to use the dodge tool but I end up brightening too much even on very low settings. It would be much, much better if I could set a threshold- pick one of the brighter areas and then brighten up any area that needs it, but not to exceed the brightness of the threshold. That way, I wouln’t overbrighten. Is there any way I can set a threshold for the dodge or other control to perform the aforementioned task?

Thanks,
Wes Wiggins

Try it with Levels or, if you have PS CS, with
(image>adjustments>)Shadow/Hightlight, to get the same shade, and then maybe try Replace Color.
