Re: OT: Image Manipuation Help
Hi Rick, I would use Photoshop. I've used both the color replacement tool and my method below. My method is not as fast as Stuart's suggestion of the replacement tool, but a complex subject may benefit from more tweaking than that tool provides. Both old and new images should be the same mode (RGB, etc.). Presuming the new images also use clipping paths or their subjects can be cleanly outlined using selection and/or masking tools: 1. Duplicate one of the old images, remove the subject and use cloning/patching/healing to fill in the background if needed. Make this the base layer of the new image. 2. Looking at an existing and new image side-by-side, use adjustment tools (levels, curves, etc.) to tweak the new subject into a comparable color range. 3. Select the adjusted new image subject and import (on its own layer) into the modified background.

RE: OT: Image Manipuation Help
Hi, Thanks to all that offered excellent suggestions. The best one I tried was the Match Colors command. My client was just looking for recommendations, so I am not sure what they will choose. But they usually come to me for non-FrameMaker help like this, because I usually come up with some suggestions. They probably don't know that I get my suggestions from the great people on this list :-).

Hello Framers, I have a series of images that are color photos of a three-dimensional, cream colored object. The objects have clipping paths around them and sit on a dark background. I have some new images that I need to incorporate into the layout, but their color is a different cast, more gray than the other cream images. I would like to apply the original color to the new images. It would be best if this could be done in the InDesign document, but if necessary, I can do it in Photoshop. I just need to know the best approach. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Rick: I forwarded your e-mail to our graphics guys and he sent me a couple of responses.

I would rather do it in Photoshop because you have more control. But it can be done in InDesign. If he has a clipping path, I think he can create another shape of a solid colour of top of the image. Then using blending modes, he can change the hue and saturation by experimenting. I use this technique to turn color logos into b/w in InDesign.
