Color Replacer - v4.0  
 2006 Martin Vicanek. 
Release date: 05. March 2008
Updated: -


DESCRIPTION:

This filter performs color replacement functions.

The function is similar to Photoshop's Replace Color command, however, this plugin is more flexible since you can select the source and target colors independently. Therefore, it is possible to tint gray areas with an arbitrary color, which can be useful for recovering the color in overexposed areas.


INSTALLATION:

Simply unzip "colorreplacer.zip" and copy "colorreplacer.8bf" to your "\Photoshop\Plug-Ins\" folder, or whichever plugin folder your host program uses. Load your program, open an image, go to the plugins menu and select the plugin.
