Hi,
Have scanned the posts on this group but have found no references to my question which is:
PS CS2.
I’m no expert with Photoshop so can anyone inform me (or point me at somewhere that can) how the Color Replacement tool works. From experiments I find that it gives unexpected results. As an example I have a photo of someone in a yellow shirt. If I set the foreground color to red & paint over the shirt it comes out pink. If I set it to dark blue the brush stroke is mainly white with light blue around the edges!
I’m obviously missing something here about how it works. Any takers?

check the options you have selected in the brush tool first opacity? set to 100%
spacing, jitters, etc to OFF??

Yup, I been through all of the options but in most cases the color you select as replacement comes out as a different color.
I have read that the background color needs to be sampled from the image first and then you select as a foreground color the one that you want to replace it with. This doesn’t appear to work either.
I assumed that by "color replacement tool" you could replace, by brushing in, a different color from the original.
This doesn’t appear to be the case.
My question is: just what is the case?
