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.


HTH,
Karen

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.

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 :-).

I'm not familiar with InDesign, but Photoshop has a colour replacement 
tool that should do the trick. There's lots of help and tutorials on the 
Web, just google color substitution in photoshop
