How to Use the Replace Colors Filter
Whether you want to replace colors throughout an entire image, or just a specific object or area, theReplace Colors filter introduced in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2021 allows you to edit images with greater control and precision.
Click on any of the images below to view full-size.
Introduction to Replace Colors
Our first example starts with this image in Corel PHOTO-PAINT, and we want to change the color of the flower.
TheReplace Colors filter is available in theAdjustments docker, which can be opened by going toWindow >Dockers >Adjustments, or by clicking theplus sign along the list of open dockers.
NOTE : theAdjustments docker was introduced in PHOTO-PAINT 2021.
If theReplace Colors filter isn't listed, click theAdd Adjustment icon and turn on that filter.
Click theOriginal eyedropper to sample the color on the photo that you want to change.
Open theNew color dropdown window and select a new color, in this case we chose a light blue.
Once you have selected the replacement color, the color wheel will be displayed. In this example, we can see on the color wheel that the default saturation range leaves out the lighter reds.
When you hover over the various edges of the highlighted range on the color wheel, white borders appear where ranges can be adjusted.
You can move either saturation border for different effects. The full saturation range includes all of the red pixels and changes them to blue.
You can also drag theHue handle to change the original color, and theHue Range side borders can be adjusted as well, to include a narrower or wider range of hues. TheSmooth slider can be used to adjust the color transition between changed and unchanged pixels.
If you don't love the new color you can adjust the target hue and change saturation and lightness as well.
Like all adjustments, theReplace Colors adjustment is non-destructive – it can be toggled on and off using the check box in the top right corner.
More adjustment filters can be added as well.
Adjustments are also listed on theEffects docker (Window >Dockers >Effects). In this docker you can select any of the effects and they can be toggled on and off, reordered, selected and deleted, or edited.
Using Local Adjustment Mode to Replace Colors of an Object
The previous example showed how to replace colors throughout an entire image. But in our next example, we'll replace the color of just the red building, without affecting other red areas such as the roof tiles, bricks around the window, and other spots.
In theReplace Colors adjustment, click theOptions icon, and chooseLocal Adjustment Mode.
This activates your most recently usedMask tool, which in this example is theBrush Mask tool. Note that any mask tool can be used for a local adjustment.
Start the interaction by sampling the original red color and then choosing a new color.
On the property bar, set your mask toNormal mode and adjust the brush size by dragging with theAlt key pressed. Use the brush to paint the effect only on the red façade.
With the local adjustment already defined, you can increase theSaturation range on the color wheel, and use the sliders to adjust theSmoothness,Saturation andLightness settings.
There are now three options in the check box for displaying this effect: off, on, and if you hold down theCtrl key and click in the box, the mask will be displayed, which is handy if you need to make any adjustments to the mask.
You can work with the mask marquee turned off as well, by going toMask >Mask Marquee.
If there are any spots that you need to add or remove from the mask, you can switch toAdditive orSubtractive mode on the property bar and brush over those spots.
Using Replace Colors in CorelDRAW
TheReplace Colors filter is available in CorelDRAW 2021 as well. In this example we have an imported bitmap image selected.
To use theReplace Colors filter, go toEffects >Adjust >Replace Colors. In theReplace Colors window, you can zoom and pan directly on the preview. Enable thePreview checkbox in the bottom left corner if you want to see the results on the image itself.
The interaction here is the same: sample the color to change and set the new color. If you only want one color changed, enable theSingle Color option; this disables the color wheel since it's not needed for a single color change.
ClickOK to finish.
TheReplace Colors adjustment in CorelDRAW is also non-destructive. In theProperties docker (Window >Dockers >Properties), with the bitmap still selected, open theFX tab.
Here you can toggle the effect on or off, edit it, or select and delete it.
Along with other effects, aReplace Colors filter can be added directly from this docker, by clicking theplus icon and choosingAdjust >Replace Colors.
Now that you know how to use theReplace Colors filter in CorelDRAW and PHOTO-PAINT, give it a try today and see how easy it is to edit images with greater control and precision.
