I tried doing a selection but since both colors are similar it selects all. Changed selection thresholds and it still doesn't work. Here is what I am trying to change: http://www.weddingclipart.com/wca/edittemplate.do?template=218069 I am trying to change the colors of the scrolls on the wedding invitation. The dark blue into a red, the lighter into a black. Yet I can't seem to get it to work flawlessly.
