Question

Changing color scheme

Hi I was looking to change the color scheme on this image for a textile project. I wanted to make the bougainvilia (pink) orange, the tile entry darker, and the side columns orange and green. How do I do this to keep high quality so when it prints, it's printed well! It's made from markers so there are so many different shades of the color when I try to separate it. Is there a way to group those colors and change to a different color so it still has those different shades but in the new color scheme?

If it is on separate layers then you could target each with a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer clipped to it.

If it is all on one layer. then again you can use Hue and Saturation adjustment layers but this time with masks added to operate on specific areas and the color selection, in the Hue & Saturation layer properties,  used to target specific colours. Example below:

Hue/Sat layer 1 example changing the pinks to orange:

Thank you so much for answering! How did you choose the selected colors to change? Would you mind sending a video? Also, the orange on the right seems a bit pixilated, do you think it should be a color change rather than messing with the saturation?

In Hue and saturation you can choose a color group with the top dropdown box. That puts the sliders on the colour bars below. You can then move those sliders to set what colors will be affected.

Also, the orange on the right seems a bit pixilated, do you think it should be a color change rather than messing with the saturation?

By adjusting the sliders you can choose how much to change the color and whether to soften the transition.

Would you mind sending a video?

I'll PM you a link to the PSD file so you can play around with it
