I saw your post in the PSPX group, so had a look here to find the script.
Thanks Joe, it works a treat. All my green frogs are now red :-)

I hope that no frogs were harmed in this experiment :-)
Glad you like it. Does it work as easily as I hoped? After all, for me
it's easy 'cause I scripted it so it's difficult to judge how others see
it. Tanante seems to enjoy it, however.

P.S. to my last post. You should be able to change your frogs easily to
other colors and shades now playing with the HSL Adjustment layer and
also the Levels Adjustment layer.

It was very easy. I saved it in the Scripts-Restricted folder (PSPX) applied
it to a selection of a frog preset shape I have just finished, and lo, it
changed colour, no jiggery pokery needed, just press the button and select
the colour. Wonderful!
I will try it on something more complicated when I have a suitable image.
Thanks Joe :-)

Actually, I never even thought it might be useful for changing one
solid color, so I guess that's a bonus. I was more interested in
changing colors with shading, like clothing, flowers, etc., and
particularly having a more automated way of replacing colors where
there is a large difference in brightness between the original and
replacement color. Thanks for the feedback!

JoeB
