Hi
I am trying to change the colour of a sections that are orange from the orange to green or blue using XPG2013 but watching the video below I tried to use the colour select/erase tool and could only change the colour to the predefined colours in the tool's list and not to any other shade of green or blue. If I go to Enhance Photos, the "Strength" beneath the Hue on the toolbar is immovable and fixed at the 0 value.Could someone advise please?

This is basically the process http://xaraxone.magix.net/PGD9/page%203.htm

It seems to me that the section you're trying to change is an object and not a picture, you should be able to select it (or control-select it) with the selection tool and click on the color you want to change it to

In my PGD 2013, I do have the Enhance Photo>Colour Select/Erase tool but do not seem to be able to get it to work in the same manner as described in the video I posted above.
I cannot change the selected colour to any other colour on the bottom palate, other than those fixed colours that appear in the dropdown list.
I thought, from the video linked to, that I would be able to highlight one colour and change all instances of that colour in the graphic. The image is a simple jpg, in one layer as it is a screen grab.

Here are 3 links to you tube videos showing how to do it. Don't know if they will help with your version or not.

Thanks for the links. I had a quicktry but unable to colour swap. I may have atry in the morning but I am sure I have seen it possible in Adobe Elements so might consider investing in that as an alternative.

That looks like a webpage, I assume you are not the author of the page then?

It's a TM template and I'd like to change some of the colours to visualise before I decide whether to buy it. I've managed to duplicate the larger orange background and use the appropriate Google font, but have had to use a simple green/blue box for the logo, again with the Google font Jockey One and not the same font as used on the logo as I can't identify it. The template will have a psd file of the logo and the font I presume.
