I have something that's a dark color of one color, I want to change it to a completely different color, much, much lighter, but still keep the same ahadows, etc that's on the dark thing.
Hmmm -- I think I found it. It's actually the first time that replace color has actually worked for me. I don't know what I've been doing wrong other times...
Could you show an example? my first instinct would be the "replace color" option in image --> adjustments - but i m not sure i grasp what you're looking to do exactly
