Trying to change the color of a jacket in cs5. Have color I need in another image. Used the eyedrop tool to bring the sample color into color picker background. Selected the image but when I use Alt/Delete it colors the whole image. Can not use adjustment layers hue/saturation because can't get a color close to what I need. Am I doing this wrong?

Well, between bites of turkey and playing with the grandkids I managed to change colors! Tutorial was great! Thanks all for the help.

There is also a technique by Jim Divitale called the .com method. a B&W layer is created and them three solid color layers are added above that with your color. Those layers blend modes are set to: color, overlay, and multiply (in this case screen would be switched for multiply). It takes a lot to tweak all the layers, but it give great results. I don't know if there is anything on the web about using this method though.

Dave pretty much summed up the steps for changing color in L*A*B*, but here's a tutorial, which I haven't watched, but it's by Jesus Ramirez, who always has great tutorial.

Several ways you can do this. One way is to use L*A*B* color. Find the the color of you sample using using L*A*B*, in this case I used L=72, A=18, & B = 37. Mask out the areas you don't want colored and adjust a curves adjustment layer to match the values of your sample.
