Hi, I just clicked 4 color samples. How can I use those samples to change a color in another part of the image. Mindy

Mindy…

If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, try working through the tutorial I wrote, linked below. It should give you some good practical knowledge. It may seem like a daunting amount of instructions and text, but if you work through it once, carefully, you’ll see that it’s not really that bad. This was written before the advent of the Color Match function in the CS versions of Photoshop (which I don’t have), so you’ll have to overlook that for the time being.

The problem is I’m not working with two different images. I’m just working with one image. I have 4 color samples from one area and I need to use those samples in another area of the same image, make sense?

Sure it does. The same basic technique can still be applied.

Once you’ve got your sample values written down, you use those values to match the colors in the other area(s) of the same image where you have made your accurate selection(s).

No..I literally meannt: That image is pretty dang tiny. Do you not have a larger version?

Bigger is MUCH easier to work on. I can’t even really see what you’re trying to do.

And, ummm…I don’t really do mornings. I’m usually up surfing and working until 5:00am EST. In the meantime, see if you can link to a bigger version of that ring.
