Hi guys,

I'm totally new to Photoshop, but need some answers right now...

I'm trying to change an object in a scanned pic to the same color as its surroundings. For example, a blue-colored box in a pic, and I want to change the color of the box to yellow, which is the color of the surrounding area. How can I do this? Please give step-by-step instructions, if possible.

Thanks so much!!

Not quite sure what you're trying to do, but you might want to try the blending modes.

Learn how to use the Color Range tool in photoshop. It is under the "select" menu.

A good toutrail is at www.dvgarage.com under techtv tourtails. Regisratioin is free. Scroll down to the color range section. The people at DVGARAGE.com have a movie there as to how to use the color range tool, as well as a .pdf and two .jpg's for you to follow along and try out.

You can lassel the box, and select the whole box. The try messing around with the color balance in the pic.

Image > Adjustments > Color Balance.
