Color replacement tool not working properly [2017]

Use the Quick Selection tool to select the vertical stipe.

Cmd+J  to place it on a separate layer

Use the Eyedropper to choose the color you want for a replacement

Click the transparent area Lock in the top of  the Layers panel

Edit > Fill with the Foreground Color

If desired: modify the color by shifting the shadow end point of Curves

Now it isn't changing color at all. Even when I switch the foreground color to black, it shows up super faint.

Thanks for your quick responses. I am wanting to remove the black strip on the cap of this lipstick and replace it with the tan color just to the side of it.

Are there any adjustment layers above the layer on which you are using the color replacement tool? A screenshot showing the options bar and the layers panel may help us to see what is happening.

I agree with  c.pfaffenbichler  , where possible, it is better to work non-destructively with adjustment layers

You may want to consider using a non-destructive approach instead of the Colour Replacement Tool.

As you seem to have a Selection of the area already a Hue/Adjustment Layer or Solid Color Layer set to Blend Mode Color, possibly combined with a Curves Layer to address the brightness, might work out.

Hi adamm,

Could you please let us know the exact version of Photoshop you are using now? Also, have you tried resetting the Photoshop preferences back to defaults and check if that helps to fix this issue, refer: Preferences in Photoshop
