In a previous tutorial, we looked at the Background Eraser<\/a><\/strong> and why it's one of the best tools in Photoshop for removing unwanted areas of an image. In this tutorial, we'll learn all about the Color Replacement Tool<\/strong> and how it enables us to change the color of an object in a photo without a lot of fuss or hassle.<\/p>\n

You may be wondering what on earth a tool for erasing backgrounds has to do with a tool for changing colors, and the answer is, a lot! Both of these tools use the exact same technology for detecting the pixels in the image that need to be changed. The only difference is that one of them deletes pixels entirely, the other simply changes their color. In fact, they're so similar that if you've already read through the Background Eraser tutorial and understand how its various options work, learning about the Color Replacement Tool will seem a lot like d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu. <\/p>\n
