Change colour of a section in an image.

P&GD 2013 was I believe version 8. It didn't have region tools (although it did have a mask tool).

Use the Mask and then the rectangle tool to draw boxes over the areas you want to change. You can then use the Enhance Photo's > Set Photo Hue > Hue and Saturation, as Steve said above ....

So it can be done ... if I can do it, anyone can. My screen shot (although virtually the same as Steve's - Sorry Steve!) was done in P&GD 2013.

Thanks for the great feedback. I am planning on upgrading the software but will also have a try with my PGD2013 and let you know of the progress.

I bought the version 10 today.
I have just tried change the colours by :
(i) selecting the Rectangle Region tool
(ii) drawing around the logo and the button
(iii) selecting Enhance photos
(iv) going to horizontal toolbar above image and "select colours to enhance"
(v) Set photo hue
Not exactly sure this is the correct procedure to follow although it seems to have worked.
But if I then decide I want to do the same to another region of the image how can I be sure that I have the same new ue/colour as I can't see any way of specifically identifying the colour that has been set?

You did exactly right Andy as you posted in #13 What you should have done to match the colour or add a new one is- if you export the image or not, when you close Xara it will ask you if you want to save your changes, click save and Xara will save the file as a xara.jpg file in a Masters Folder. If you open this file and Ctrl+click on any area you have changed, the marching ants show up the area and it will show the exact colour setting you used when you click on set photo hue so you match exactly another area with the same setting you want. You can do this over and over again as long as you save your changes, Xara will update the file in the Masters Folder. If you export the image, remember still to save your changes when Xara asks you. Sorry to be so long winded but one last point, you can also use set saturation and colour temp. As you can see in the images, I used blue and green first time round and then using the xar.jpg changed the blue to red.

you can doing this easily by using selecting tools that process name is clipping path select process by using the selection or pentool you will select that required place and make the change on the color.

@Enamul: Please show us a screenshot of your suggestion done using Xara Designer software.

Yes please Enamul a screenshot as I have no idea of what your talking about. AndyD wanted to make the same colours exact and have a record of his changes so he could modify if needed and the only way I know is by saving your work, albeit a Png or Jpg is to save it as a xar.file and the changes will be there all editable. Are you talking about XP&D10 or PhotoShop?

Enamul has no Xara software according to his profile.
None of his posts have made much sense, unless you view them as sandwich filling while he waits for PM privileges..
