Color swap problem
Having trouble doing what should be simple. Made a scan [.psd] of a simple red-on-white graphic [for small equipment tags, letters & numbers, had to use existing style & formats] and changed it to blue-on-white [eventually] and now need to convert upper half to white-on-blue and leave lower half blue-on-white. [&#%$@&! picky kustommerz!]
Using Photoshop 6.0 [on W2k] for years [I’m a writer, not an artiste], but only do limited/basic stuff [change/add/delete arrows & colors, basic retouching to change model numbers on equipment photos, deleting & moving pixels to delete lines, parts, etc.]. Most Help is for more complex photo retouching or fancy graphic work, not a simple reverse like this. In all my reference books, nothing covers a simple select & color swap, and haven’t seen anything similar in this forum. I messed with layers, channels, masks, etc. but still can’t get simple result I need and have no doubt bloated the file with useless extras [tho’ size doesn’t matter here, just quality!]. I’m surely missing the obvious; any ideas on a SIMPLE way to do this? Thanx.
