How to change the dark color of a photo ?

[gaftalik]

Hi everyone,

1) I am using Xara designer pro x11, after watching many tutorials on changing colors, i need to change the leather color of this chair to a light brown or whatever, i tried to use the select colors to enhance button then using the set photo hue button but the color very slightly changed not what i exactly desire even when setting to red and adjusting strength to maximum , the chair didnt turn to red!
any help please?

2) Once possible is there any way that Xara allows us to select colors from the color palette to get the desired color ?

Thank you for your support !
