Default changing colours in PP?

I saw a tutorial somewhere here but now I can't find it.

It was one of the mods who had posted about changing the colour of cherries with examples of changing the reds to green, purple etc

Does anyone know where I'd find that again? I'd like to have a go at changing the colour of a shirt in a portrait shot.

Thanks in advance.

That'd be me The thread you're looking for is: Changing Colors in Photoshop (or your image editing program of choice)

Hope that helps!

Sweet thanks! Hey Nicole, just quickly, if I wanted to switch out something that is white, then what colour range do I select in step #3?
I use the eyedropper to select it in the photo, is that right?? If so I can't do it because it won't let me select the eydroppers dang it!

Yep, you select the eyedropper in the window for selecting the colour range (you do have to pick a colour first from the dropdown list and then it will make the eye dropper work). But it's a bit trickier if the object is white because then the hue / saturation adjustment won't change anything.

You might try this video on how to change the colour of a white shirt: YouTube - Photoshop change a shirt from white to red or even black

after selecting the white, on hue and saturation, check colorize. if you do not check this, the hue and saturation won't work.
