I use the Magic Wand to select the red sweat shirt area and copy and paste that selection into a new layer. Just filling the selection with a color results in a very poor final image in that it is obvious the color has been changed. The texture and shadows on the sweat shirt have been lost. Question: How do I change the color of the sweat shirt from red to blue while maintaining texture and shading ? First method: After you make the selection, open the Layers Dialog, and click on new layer Change the layer mode from normal to color or multiply, and fill your selection with the desired color. Second Method: Make your seleciton, and go to the menu layers-colors-Hue Saturation ...make your changes. In both cases, you probably will want to go to view-selection boundary and turn it off, before trying the changes.

Hi Trevor, Trevor Nightingale wrote: Question: How do I change the color of the sweat shirt from red to blue while maintaining texture and shading ? Colormap rotation might be what you're looking for - it takes a part of the hue circle and maps it onto another part of the hue circle. In your case, you would take all the reddish and purply/orangy colours, and map that to an appropriate bluish part. This is in Filters-Colors-Map-Colormap rotation Alternatively, if you're sure that you want to change everything in the selection, you can use the hue saturation tool (Layer-Colors-Hue Saturation). The advantage of the colormap rotation is taht if your selection is not perfect, it leaves stuff outside the source section untouched. If you're lucky you can use it without even making a selection at all.
