re-coloring an element

[mimi1166]

Hi, I'm using my eye-dropper tool and I got the color that I want to change my element to, I selected the layer I want to change, what is my next step to change the color?
What do I click for the 'command' button? oh, I'm using pse4......

If I were recoloring, I would place the color I want in the foreground and go to wherever the Hue/Saturation is in PSE4, select the "colorize" box and move the sliders until it looks just right. Then sometimes you lose a little contrast in the process so I would go to Brightness/Contrast and play with those sliders a touch too. HTH! :-)

Another option is to create a new layer and fill it with a color you want and then play with the layer blending modes and opacity slider til you see something you like. Then delete the excess fill.

Does anyone know where hue/ saturation is in pse4?

Click on the half black, half white circle at the top of the layers pallet and hue/saturation is one of the options.

You could also try the "Replace Color". It's under IMAGE ==> ADJUSTMENTS ==> in PS CS2.

If anyone would like the link to my tutorial that I wrote on this with PSE3 (applicable to the other versions I'm sure), please PM me....I don't have it available on my site for everyone as I have to keep some of them for the classes I hope to eventually open up, but I like helping people too and would be willing to share privately just to help you.

I found it needs an addition to it, but it is enough to help you.
