Hi,

I am new to photoshop CS. I have an image of a landscape with water in
it. It is a stitched image. The color of water in one part of the image
is slightly different from the color of water in the other parts of the
image. I would like to change the color of water in the first selection
to match the color of water in the rest of the image. How can I do
this?

Thanks for the help!
Mukund

Photoshop CS2 got the color matching options between different layers.
I m not sure whether the function is avaliable in Photoshop CS.

In CS open a source image then a destination image whose colours you wish to
change!
Click Image > Adjustments > Match Colour
in the match colour box > select source file > then adjust the sliders >
luminance etc > finally fade to control how much colour is replaced > then
OK.

unscientific and not automatic method of
how I would fix it:
make a selection area on the part of the water you want to change
feather the selection to a very soft edge
make an adjustment layer like selective color, or levels or curves or color
balance, or hue/sat may work as well
press control H to hide the ants
work with the sliders till it looks matched to your eye

How 'bout making it two images? Open the original and then create two new
empty images. Select one of the sides in the original and paste it into one
of the empties. Select the other side and do likewise. Run the color match
on the two images. Stitch 'em back together. A good program for this, highly
recommend by several users here, is autostitch, at
http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~mbrown/autostitch/autostitch.html, or you can follow
one of the many tutorials online for doing it in PS. Just Google on
"stitching in Photoshop."

I was also going to suggest autostitch. But I'd argue, if you use
autostitch to stitch your image, you most likely won't get any color
mismatches to begin with.

No automatic function can ever match the results you'll get by learning
how to use Photoshop's color correction commands.
