    Thank you, I actually understood your step by step instructions and was able to change colors. Too many other Photoshop ‘how to’ guides assume a level of knowledge that beginners don’t have.

    You can use selection tool to limit the color range selection (it selects inside the selction).

    thanks Richard
    this works perfectly with flowers
    the only problem I find is that if your changing color of a certain object and other objects have same or similar color it will change all objects of similar color
    or I’m doing something wrong

    other then that
    its great
    thanks
