How do I change a specific color in Photopea?

Unfortunately, the provided reference is simply a snippet of a video title and some color descriptions, offering no direct instructions on how to change a specific color in Photopea. Therefore, I'll provide a general guide to color replacement in Photopea based on common techniques.

There are several methods to change a specific color in Photopea, each with varying levels of control and complexity. Here are a few common approaches:

1. Using the Color Replacement Tool:

• This tool directly paints over the existing color with a new one.
• How to use it:
  1. Select the Color Replacement Tool from the toolbar (it might be hidden under the Brush Tool).
  2. Choose your desired replacement color in the Color Picker.
  3. Adjust the Size, Hardness, and Tolerance settings in the toolbar for the tool to control the brush size, feathering, and the range of colors that will be affected. A lower tolerance will target a narrower range of colors.
  4. Carefully paint over the areas with the color you want to change.

2. Using Adjustment Layers (Hue/Saturation):

• This is a non-destructive method that allows you to adjust the hue, saturation, and lightness of specific colors.
• How to use it:
  1. Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation.
  2. In the Properties panel, use the dropdown menu to select a specific color range (e.g., Reds, Yellows, Greens).
  3. Adjust the Hue, Saturation, and Lightness sliders to change the selected color range.
  4. If needed, refine the selection using the color bars at the bottom of the Properties panel to precisely target the colors you want to modify.
  5. Use a layer mask on the adjustment layer to isolate the color change to specific areas of your image.

3. Using Selection Tools and Fill:

• This method involves selecting the area with the color you want to change and then filling it with a new color.
• How to use it:
  1. Use a selection tool such as the Magic Wand Tool or the Color Select Tool (Select > Color Range) to select the specific color you want to change. Adjust the Tolerance to fine-tune the selection.
  2. Once the color is selected, create a new layer.
  3. Fill the selection on the new layer with your desired replacement color using the Paint Bucket Tool or by going to Edit > Fill.
  4. Adjust the layer blending mode (e.g., Color, Overlay) to blend the new color seamlessly with the underlying image.

4. Using the Replace Color Adjustment:

• This adjustment specifically targets a color range and allows for its replacement.
• How to use it:
  1. Go to Image > Adjustments > Replace Color.
  2. Click on the color in your image you want to replace. Adjust the fuzziness to select a wider or narrower range of similar colors.
  3. Adjust the Hue, Saturation, and Lightness sliders to change the selected color range to your desired color.

Tips for Best Results:

• Work non-destructively: Use adjustment layers and masks to avoid permanently altering your original image.
• Pay attention to tolerance/fuzziness: Adjust these settings carefully to select only the colors you intend to change. Too high a tolerance can affect unwanted areas.
• Use layer masks: Refine your color changes by using layer masks to isolate the effects to specific areas of the image.
• Experiment with blending modes: Blending modes can help integrate the new color more naturally into the image.

By using these methods and techniques, you can effectively change specific colors in Photopea to achieve your desired results.
