Getting More Accurate Color Using Replace Color

 

If you’re using Replace Color (under the Image menu, under Adjustments) to select an area within your photo and replace it with a different color, the new color is pretty much an approximation, because you’re dragging sliders, rather than inputting the exact RGB or CMYK build you’re looking for. In Photoshop CS2, there’s a way around this. Once you’ve selected the area of color you want to replace, click on the Color Swatch to the right of the sliders in the Replacement section (it wasn’t there in previous versions). This brings up the Color Picker, where you can enter the exact RGB or CMYK values for your new color.

Adding Keywords to Multiple files

In Bridge, you can add keywords to images to make searching for pictures a little less cumbersome. You don’t, however, want the process to become tedious as well. By either Command-clicking (PC: Ctrl-clicking) or Shift-clicking on images, you can select multiple files inside Bridge. Once you have the files selected, you can go to the Keywords panel and turn on any keyword you like. This will apply the keyword to all of the files that you have selected. It takes away a little bit of the pain of categorization, but just a little.
