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.

Black and White 101

Black and white could not get any easier. Open an image. Choose Image>Adjustments>Black and White. Instead of using all of the sliders that are in the resulting dialog, click on the different areas of the image that you want to make darker or lighter and drag—left to make them lighter, right to make them darker.
