Hi there

I have a picture of a silver (fairly shiny) galvanized dust bin/trash can. How can I realistically change the colour to, say, a solid red?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Callum

Try, Image / Adjustments / Replace Colour. When the window appears, use the Eyedropper tool to select your colour to be changed, then use a combination of the "Replacement" sliders to achieve the colour you want, and the "Fuzziness" slider to select more or less of the image. You’ll get the idea after a short play 🙂

PS. When using the "Fuzziness" slider to select the area of the image you want to change,
if you find you have to select more than you want (parts of the image other than the dustbin) don’t worry as you can undo those extra bits after applying the new colour, by using the "History Brush".
