Hi ,? I am trying to select a portion of? a picture so that I can alter the colour.
The Wand tool doesn't work well for this application.
The area is almost like a rectangle with a smaller rectangle inside and the area I'm after is the space in between.
What I'd like to do is to use the Lasso tool to select the outside rectangle and then while I have that selected use it again to select the smaller rectangle.
Then what I would like to do is to change the colour in between the two selected areas.
Unfortunately the first one doesn't stay selected and I'm not sure even if it did whether or not I would be able to paint inside the two selections.
I've thought of selected the inner rectangle and copying it to another layer and then copying the original larger rectangle and just painting inside that.? ?Once I've got the colour I want I could replace the inner rectangle from the layer I saved it to.
Would this be the easiest way to do it or is there another way.
Thanks.
