Colour replacement tool not working

I have a jpeg file loaded into Photoshop CS6. This is a black logo on a white background. The colour replacement tool has no effect on this (I want to change the black to another colour)
I have read somewhere that the tool doesnt work with black and white? is that correct and if so, how do i get the colour changed
Thanks
Chris Anderson

Hi Cjacs,
You may try using blending modes to achieve your desired result. Starting with a black and white logo:
1) Create a new fill layer by going to Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color.
2) At the first dialog box, click OK. Then choose the color you want the artwork to be.
3) You logo artwork will then be hidden, but don't worry! We'll using blending modes to change this.
4) In the Layers Panel, look for the area where it says "Normal." This is where you change the blend mode. Open this dropdown menu and select Screen.
5) Your artwork will then be changed to the color you chose before.
I hope this was helpful! Please don't hesitate to ask more questions if this did not solve your issue.

Colour replacer tool not working...

I need to recoolour the gold text so its white.
If I select it its not really very good.
I thought about using the colour replacer tool but it goes gray.
How can I make it go white?
Or, should I be looking for a different method?
Many thanks
Edward

Hi
I can wrote you one of a ways how to select only text from that image and colorize it as you want.
1. press CTRL+J (or cmd+j if you are using MAC) this will duplicate your actual layer
2. press CTRL+SHIFT+U for desaturate the image or in main menu - Image/Adjustmets/Desaturate
3. press CTRL+M for editing curves or Image/Adjustments/Curves - and move horizontaly with dots showed on graph to get the most contrast image with still soft edges
4. Now switch to your Chanels tab, if you don't have it displayed you can do this in Window/Chanels
- then just ctrl+click to chanel layer image to get selection of white color
- Tip for the future use, If you are working with more complex images with a lot of shades of grey turn off RGB layer, and two other layers to gen only 2 colours palete, choose one you like the most and then width ctrl+click on layer thumbnail you get this selection (somenimes is needed to invert selection ... if you are selecting dark tones)
5. Switch back to layers and create a new layer, fill the selection on that new layer and you have text on it's own layer where you can do whatever you want, for example change colour.
because you want to have a white you're probably done
Hope this helped

Colour Range Tool not Working in CC as it did in CS6.

Hi, I'm currently trying out Ps CC and have realised that the Colour Range tool is not working as it did in CS6. Rather than selecting the solid colour sampled by the eye dropper (in this case pink from a blue and pink design) it is selecting fragments of both colours. No amount of playing with the sliders is improving the selection clarity. Does anybody have a solution? Thanks Kayle.

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...

Strangely behaving Colour Replacement Tool

Hi anyone,
I've read up and watched videos of the Colour Replacement Tool and I've been trying all night to replace a very pale blue patch of sky with a dark blue patch of sky. Websites say use the colour picker to choose the darker blue I want. I do this and it successfully becomes my Foreground Colour in the 2 little squares.   It then says if I go to Colour Replacement Tool and click on something with the target in the circle (ie the too pale blue I want to get rid of), it will replace that with my Foreground Colour (my darker blue).
But this never happens. It wipes out my pale blue OK ,but replaces it with white all the time instead of my dark blue foreground colour,   Frustratingly when I click and brush on some brown rocks, they DO come up with the blue I want.
So I experimented by changing my foreground colour to black with the eyedropper tool this time so things would be obvious and to see if my pale sky got darker.   Then I went to the Colour Replacement Tool and clicked on my pale sky and moved the cursor around expecting things to change to black, but again they just changed to white !!   And when I went to the brown rocks, even more bizarrely they were still changing to the dark blue I wanted that was my earlier foreground colour, and not the black that was showing as my current foreground colour.
Why is this happening - I'm using Photoshop Elements 13?   Could it be anything to do with the fact I'm trying to do this on a Photomerged Panoramic shot.which is why I have dark sky and light sky as I forgot to fix exposure for the 2 shots..

Not what you want to hear probably but here goes:
I consider the Color Replacement Tool worthless for serious image editing and would recommend that you focus on non-destructive techniques (like Adjustment Layers) instead to accomplish such a task.

Creative cloud photoshop blur tool not work as it should be

creative cloud photoshop blur tool not work as it should be !
I go to blur a painting i am doing and it does not blur enough and I am using wacom Intuos 5 med pen tablet.
and I even set the tablets sensitivty for pressure lower then default and still not getting the blur tool to do its job.
I even adjusted the brush settings too to be able to blur even more on hard settings, still nothing.
at least it not bluring enough to see any major changes.
the only way i can blur anything is by using the fliters blur or the brushes ( mixer brush ) settings to mix colors and do it that way.
(note) I will not post my systems specs sorry I don't do that and even the tech from adobe said I do not have to. and so I wont !
just need advise not to share system specs.
and thats what this forums board is for getting advice and read what others say about the issue at hand.
it's not to post or share system specs !!!
so with that out of the way I need advice only please ?

Hi,
It might be your image is too big in terms of pixel dimensions for the blur tool to work well.
If you zoom to 100% do you see any change when using the blur tool?
What are the pixel dimensions of the image?
(Image>Image Size)
If you try a small image, does the blur tool work?
What about when you use the mouse instead of your tablet?
Can you at least tell us what operating system and version of photoshop your using?

Hello everyone - well I like the title says refine edges tool not working right -
I open an image in photoshop - make a quick selection of a part of the image and then go into refine edges - Click on smart radious and when I use the brush to get a better selection that part becomes transparent - I tried seaching everywhere for an answer but noone seems to know
Thank you

Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?
The videos you might have seen might simply be using images that lend themselves to the task better than your image.

Adobe XI - Hightlight text tool not working

Just downloaded adobe XI and the hightlight text tool not working. How can I get this to work.

I guess you can always use the box tool in drawing markups to draw a box around the text then play with the colors until you get close to what you want.
The only thing I don't like about that (besides it being a PITA) is that it covers the text with color as well where the highlight tool does not.

Magic Rubber + Colour Replacement Tool

I am searching for a Adobe Program which has the tools "magic rubber" and the "colour replacement tool". I need this just for my hobby. So the full Version of Photoshop iis to expensive for me. Is there an alternative?

I don't know what "magic rubber" is, but it fairly easy to select something in PSE and change the color.
Suggest that you download the free 30 trial, fully functioning, PSEv13. This will afford you the opportunity to evaluate it for your purpose.

Shape Builder tool not working on shapes in a clipping mask

Hello again,
Why is the Shape Builder Tool don't work on shapes inside a Clipping Mask? The Pathfinder does work but for the Shape Builder Tool: NADA!
Thank's for answering,
Lindberg

Hi,
Thank you for answering. No it will work correctly. The Pathfinder work inside a clipping path and in any situation but not the Shape Builder Tool. Unless this is normal, I think that the specialist at Adobe should have a look at this annoying behavior and try to release an upgrade with this behavior corrected in a near futur.
Thank’s again for answering,
