example.afphotoI am trying to change the colour of a child's garment from a light brown to an ivory taken from an adjacent garment worn by another in the photo. However, I can not find a way of adjusting the colour 100% without losing the underlying texture of the garment. When I attempt to use the colour replacement brush all I get is a greenish tint. All very frustrating. Surely it is possible to change the colour without losing the underlying texture of the garment.......? Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi @Paul Cotton,

Welcome to the forums. 

Can you please attach the picture in question so we can have a look?

Thanks,

Gabe.

I've put a copy of the image on which I hope will work for you. Many thanks, Paul

You could try Filters > Frequency Separation, once applied, turn off the Low frequency, create a new pixel layer and sample the dress colour then paint onto the pixel layer that should be placed below the High Frequency layer to maintain the texture of the garment.

Add a pixel layer, change the blend mode to Soft Light
Paint on pixel layer with whatever colour best matches what you want
The texture should be maintained
