OT: Image Manipuation Help

[Karen Robbins]

Hi Rick,

I would use Photoshop. I've used both the color replacement tool and 
my method below. My method is not as fast as Stuart's suggestion of 
the replacement tool, but a complex subject may benefit from more 
tweaking than that tool provides. Both old and new images should be 
the same mode (RGB, etc.).

Presuming the new images also use clipping paths or their subjects 
can be cleanly outlined using selection and/or masking tools:

1. Duplicate one of the old images, remove the subject and use 
cloning/patching/healing to fill in the background if needed. Make 
this the base layer of the new image.

2. Looking at an existing and new image side-by-side, use adjustment 
tools (levels, curves, etc.) to tweak the new subject into a 
comparable color range.

3. Select the adjusted new image subject and import (on its own 
layer) into the modified background.

HTH,
Karen
