[Photo: Selecting a "range" of colours]

@Hangman, @NotMyFault

Thanks for your inputs. I used both techniques and have achieved a great result (considering my skill level). Just what I needed.

 

[Photo: Selecting a "range" of colours]

Hi,

I'm trying to modify the attached photo to "alter" the text. I can use text and distort it OK to appear to be the same perspective. What I'm unsure of it how to pick up the colours of the rusty steel in the original letters and paste them on to a standard text character. I understand how to use the colour picker, but that only samples a single colour of one pixel, not the whole area.

 

Image attached. If I've not made myself clear, please ask.
