Color change tool not working properly

I am running Photoshop CS5.
Now when I try to replace color, these are my steps
color replacement tool
mode: color
sampling: continuous
limits: find edges
tolerance: 33%
anti-alias: selected
I pick my color that I want to replace. If it is a green, or a blue, it will replace the color, but it replace with a neon color instead of the color that i pick.
If i use a white or a black, it will not replace the color at all.
Any ideas how to fix the problem?
Thanks in advance

Any ideas how to fix the problem?
Plain and simple: Learn how to work with selections and then use adjustments or e.g. the paint bucket tool. You are fundamentally misunderstanding how the tool works. All of what you see is as it should be - based on your settings it retains luminance and just replace the color info which explains why black and white don't respond (as there is no color) and how substituting a color while retaining the luminance would yield an unexpected visual result. Again, your approach is wrong, not the tool.

  • Can no longer access iPhoto from the iMovie camera browser..not working. Also the Inspector tool not working properly. Cannot change clip duration.

    How can I fix the INSPECTOR Tool?   Clip duration is not working properly, it is very erratic.  You type a number and a different one comes up on the clip.
    Suddenly the iPhoto Camera browser in iMovie is not working properly either.  Can not access my iPhotos to include them in iMovie project.

    Have you tried this?
    From the "HOME" screen, go to "SETTINGS > PRIVACY > PHOTOS" and see if iMovie is listed in the "PHOTOS" page. If it is, then tap the iMovie switch to "ON"
    Now your Videos & Photos should be accessible in the iMovie App.

  • Color picker tool not working after upgrading to Lightroom 6.0I

    I had Lightroom 4.4 and I upgraded to Lightroom 6.0.1.
    mine is a standalone version and not creative cloud version
    After upgrading, color picker tool is not working properly.
    I am unable to pick color from image

    Hi dheerajm35482857,
    It seems that turning off CPU in preferences solves the problem, see: LightRoom 6 color picker bug.

  • Color Context does not work properly

    Hi,
    I'm using MII 12.1
    ColorContext does not work properly with Lights and Multilights. I did not test other grids.
    For every match it shows black colored lights.
    Is there a way to solve this problem?
    Thanks.

    Cemil,
    There was a bug in the early versions of 12.1 for color contexting.  Color context changes were made in the display template were not being saved.  I would strongly urge you to upgrade to SP5 patch 1.  However, if you want a very crude way to test if your contexting is working the way you want it to:
    1. Export your display template
    2. Find the color context section of the xml and change the settings to the desired color coding
    3. Import your modified display template
    4. Test
    I do not recommend this as a short term or long term solution.  It is a hack and should be recognized as such.  But it will allow to test your configured display template's behavior.
    Regards,
    Mike

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 12: dropdown boxes for tools not working properly in Win 8.1

    Elements 12 system requirements are indicated up to Windows 8.  Does that mean it should also work on any Windows 8 upgrades, more specifically 8.1?  The drop-down boxes for the tools are not working properly in the program.  I've installed it, uninstalled it, and installed it again with the same results.  It worked fine on my old computer with Vista.

    Yes PSE12 will work on 8.1
    If problems persist try re-setting the prefs.
    Go to: Edit >> Preferences >> General (Photoshop Elements menu on Mac)
    Click the button Reset Preferences on next Launch

  • Selection tools not working properly -- Illustrator CS6

    The two selection tools in CS6 Illustrotor not working properly.  They don't select the object when I click and drag a box around them and the handles on drawing path won't stay highlighted when I use the direct selection tool so I can adjust them -- Worked in Illustrator for about 12 years and never had this problem.

    Have you tried:

  • CS5.1 scaling tool not working properly

    The scaling tool is working oddly. If I scale it something down (like a logo) - even with the shift held down and scale it back up - it is all distorted. Is there something that I need to turn off or on? Because the scale tool isn't working properly it is destroying logos. I'm not new to illustrator so unless something in the program has changed I'm not doing anything I haven't always done - without the bad effects.
    thanks

    THANK YOU!
    And it was the "Free Transform" tool I was talking about. Your tip has fixed the problem.

  • Selections tools not working properly in Photoshop CC 2014

    Just installed Photoshop CC 2014. For some reason I cannot get my quick selection tool and quick mask to work properly. I can make a selection but when I try to make a mask I get all kinds of artifacting going on. I try to use quick select to clean up the artifacting to no avail, in fact I start to get different artifacting in the selection that cannot be removed by the brush tool. HELP. To bad I uninstalled Photoshop CC. Can I reinstall Photoshop CC somehow? Anybody out there with the same problems? The focus area will not work also?

    At this moment, I have tried : Reset the "Adobe Photoshop Settings File" (When you open Photoshop, push "option + command + shift" for Apple).
    Not ok.

  • Eyedropper Tool Not Working Properly: Photoshop CC 2014

    I have the very latest version of Photoshop CC 2014. But, even before updating, all of a sudden, my eyedropper tool isn't working properly. It used to be that I could pick up a color from any place on the image, no matter what layer I was on. Now, it seems that layer MUST be the active one for the eyedropper tool to pick up the color. So, what's going on?
    If it means anything, I recently updated from OS X 10.8.5 to 10.9.5.

    So, what's going on?
    Possibly you paid no attention to the Tool’s settings in the Options Bar.

  • Eye Dropper Tool (Color Picker Tool) not working correctly - Premiere CC - Windows 8 - Multiple Displays

    I'm running Windows 8, Premiere CC 2014 with two monitors. The eye dropper tool (color picker tool) isn't working correctly. It is selecting colors that are not the colors being hovered over. I've reasearched and see solutions to the problem when occurring with Mac, but do not see a solution for Windows. When I disconnect the second monitor, the eye dropper tool works correctly (as described by Mac users). I deleted any profiles for the montors that weren't the same, and still having the issue. I've also tried putting the source monitor on the second monitor, and tried sampling color from there... same result.

    Hello All,
    Problem solved...I reset all tools in the Tool Preset window. Seems to be working.
    Hope this helps someone...
    Cheers!

  • HTMLEkitorKit color change does not work on existing color

    My problem is that I use StyledEditorKit.ForegroundAction to update the color of the selected text. It works the first time but if I select a substring of the text with the color attribute and apply the foreground action again the color attribute does not change. If I change the font size or the font family first applying the foreground action to the substring does work. A previous posting listed this as a known bug. I am using sdk 1.4.1_03. I have tried using CSS attributes and setCharacterAttributes as well with no success. Does anyone know of a solution?
    Steve

    Anyone? I tried setting the character attributes of the selected substring one char at a time to no avail. I also tried remove the attribute from the element but that removes the attribute from the whole string and not the selected substring. Help!

  • FW CS6 Align tool not working properly with lines of text

    Much to my surprise the align tool is not aligning properly with text and I'm not sure what the issue is. My snap to grid distance is set at 1 in preferences.
    Task: Left-align several vertically-stacked lines of type using the alignment tool. All lines have text-align: left.
    Result: Some of lines of type display 1px off from each other. Using the right-align tool yields the same issue.
    Oddly enough shapes align pixel-perfect.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    I'm not certain of this, but I believe the Align panel aligns the text runs as opposed to the text boxes themselves. This should be a good thing, as it's usually the text that needs to be aligned, not the invisible boxes containing the text.
    Could that be what's happening?

  • Color replacement tool not working

    My name is Sami,
    Im in photoshop and i drew my own pictures and scanned them and put them into photoshop. When i am using the color replacement tool it doesn't replace any color. I just want to make some highlights and darken certain areas but it won't do anything. HELP!

    We can't know. We know nothing about your system, your images, your version of PS. and well, using the color replacement tool is usually the worst imaginable way to tweak colors...
