Some tools dont get enough attention, this tool might be one of
them.
You could compare it somehow with the Healing Brush, although
there is
a difference. This tool works like a regular paint brush, it
manipulates the color on your image while the underlying texture
stays
unaffected. Because of this, you can apply a color change in a
more
precision way.
If you select the tool in the Toolbox, you'll get to see the
various options in the Options bar like different
Modes to work with in which theReplace Color Toolcan be applied:
Hue, Saturation, Color and
Luminosity. The Hue will apply the replacement in the most
subtle way, while the Colo r mode might result is
a far too vibrant effect.
Samplingdetermines the source for the color replacement.
"Continuous" means you will be continuously
sampling as you go. "Background Swatch" uses the background
swatch as a pre-defined sample color.
Only areas containing the current background color will be
replaced. "Once" will replace the targeted color
only in areas containing the color that you've first
clicked.
You also haveLimitsoptions. "Contiguous" will replace colors
that are contiguous with the color
immediately under the pointer "Discontinuous" will replace the
sample color under the pointer whereveryou go. "Find Edges" will
replace connected areas containing the sampled color while
preserving the
sharpness of the shape edges.
The Toleranceis a bit like with other tools, the higher the
percentage the broader the range and the more
colors will be replaced. Check the antialiasing option to get
softer edges, although it could give you a less
precise result. You can use the "Find Edges" options to limit
the antialiasing.
The foreground color will be used as your new color that will
replace the unwanted color.

T H I S I S W H A T I D I D :
choose the "Once" option for the more dangerous areas and the
"Continuous" for the safer areas
used the "Hue" mode for a more subtle replacement (the others
will create pretty drastic results)
used the "Color" mode in combination with a less vibrant color
to enhance the pink color of the shirt
used the "Background Swatch" sampling option to resolve the grey
areas

practice :)
