What does the Color Replacement Tool do?

• A. Computes a new color across the entire image
• B. Paints over a targeted color with a replacement color
• C. Adds a gradient fill to the image
• D. Converts colored pixels to grayscale

Answer: (B)

The Color Replacement Tool selectively swaps a target color for a new one as you paint. It works by replacing the color under your brush with the foreground color you choose, but only for pixels that are close to the color you’re painting over. That means you can preserve shading and texture because the tool adjusts within a color range rather than repainting everything uniformly. You control how broad that range is with a tolerance setting, and you can limit the effect to contiguous areas or let it sample across layers as needed. This is ideal for changing a specific color in an image, like recoloring a shirt or changing eye color, without affecting other colors in the scene.
