Need PhotoShop help to replace one color with another?

Hello, I鈥檓 new to the aggravating world of PhotoShop.

I have a PhotoShop question I hope someone can help me. The Help section isn鈥檛 helping any. %26lt;grrrr%26gt; This is what I need to do:

I need to replace one color with another color. I have a picture of a friend who鈥檚 blonde and I want to change her hair color to brunette, while not wiping out the shadowing (the darker areas of her hair: the picture was taken outdoors).

Some artists working on paperback covers use models and will go in later, and digitally change something in the picture using PhotoShop. (i.e. hair color, dress color, the color of the car, etc.) This is pretty much what I鈥檓 trying to do, but can鈥檛 figure it out.

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Thank you for your time. %26lt;smile%26gt;

This sounds complicated but keep at it. I use this technique all the time. Once you've mastered it, you can create all kinds of exciting color effects.

Instructions: Using Adjustment Layers to Change Colors in a Room (etc.)

Open photo in Photoshop. At the bottom of the Layers palette, you鈥檒l see a row of icons. Click on the one that looks like a circle, with one half light and one half dark. This is the Adjustment Layer icon, and from here you can add any type of adjustment layer. An Adjustment layer is like a filtering layer. It affects the pixels below it, but in a non-permanent, adjustable way. Add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer, and in it鈥檚 dialogue box, check the colorize option. This will give you a monotone image, the colour of which you can control with it鈥檚 Hue, Saturation and Lightness sliders. The Hue slider controls the colour of the image. The Saturation slider controls how intense the colour is (left makes the colour greyish and muted, while right makes it very intense and vibrant). The Lightness slider controls how light or dark the colour is.
