CS4 question (or even lightroom 2)

[Rian Malynn]

I have adobe CS4 (lightroom 2) and am just learning how to use CS4. I learned the selective coloring here and I can do that easily now. But my question is, how can you add a different color then what is already there? Or can you? Ok, what I mean is, say I have a picture of...a frog. It's green, same old same old, is there a way to take the green and make it...hot pink and blue? I wasn't sure where to begin to look, and I think this would be much easier then actually finding a frog and painting it different colors (It was an example!~ I am in no way going to alter a live frogs, frogs are great and I love them...it was just the first example I came up with. My actual idea is using a sunflower and painting each petal a different color, I did this ten years ago for a photo class, and I want to revisit that idea, only without the use of poster paints this time!) Thanks guys, for any help you can give...I feel lost with this software!! Ri

Selective Coloring - change color partially

Ok, well after a long search, and not knowing exactly what I was searching for, I found something that was along the lines of what I wanted, and I tried it out, I am just not sure how to fine tune it, I suppose playing around with it some more. I also wish I could get clean lines, that too I will probably have to work at. I'll share the site I found it on, as well as attach a copy of my first attempt, its not worthy of a upload on flickr.

aperture that sure looks a whole lot easier then what I just went through and selective coloring I can handle. Though I am not sure if I can achieve the full affect that I want to with it. I may just end up with poster paints again.

Google for "selective coloring", "selective coloring hue" or something even more clever, and see what you'll get.
