 Been beating my head against a wall having followed seven tutorials on the net
 on changing colors in an image and none of them work.
 
 I have an image of a boot footprint which originated from a grayscale image
 in photoshop. I have converted it to RGB. The boot print is really quite dark
 but I want to change it to a light green color.
 
 Every method I have tried so far has changed the color of the almost white
 bits but not changed the dark patches (most of the image).
 
 Can anybody help with this, thanks.

The select by colour tool should let you select the dark colour you are
looking for. Then you can replace the selected region by replacing it
with the foreground or background colour. I don't know if this was one
of the methods you already tried though.

Try creating a new layer filled with the colour you want and set its
layer mode to Grain Merge.

Are you trying to simply colorize the image? There's a tool called
'Colorize' in the tools menu, and it should work fine in that case.
Move the lightness and saturation sliders towards right, and then pick
the hue you want, and you should get the results you are looking for.
