1. Installation
Move or Copy the filter plug-in to your Photoshop filters folder, (re)start Photoshop, then the filter should be available under:

filter --> Digital Imaging Tools --> Color Correction...

 

2. Color Patches
The color patches indicate the "source" and "destination" color respectively. The currently active colorpatch is indicated by a thicker frame. The color sliders affect the currently active colorpatch!

You can select a "source" color by clicking the source colorpatch. It becomes active (indicated by a thicker frame) and the color sliders will reflect the color. You can now select the color you want to change, by clicking the preview and adjusting the color sliders.

You can select a "destination" color by clicking the destination colorpatch. It becomes active (indicated by a thicker frame) and the color sliders will reflect the color. You can now select the color you want the source color to be changed to, by clicking the preview and adjusting the color sliders.

 

3. Color controls
Use the color controls to adjust the "source" and "destination" colors. Which colorpatch is controlled depends on the active colorpatch. The active colorpatch is indicated by the thicker frame. To activate a colorpatch simply click the colorpatch once.

The color controls depend on the image mode:
+ for RGB images the sliders represent the red, green and blue channel of the color patch,
+ for CMYK images the sliders represent the cyan, magenta, yellow and black channel of the color patch
+ for Lab images the sliders represent the Lightness, a and b channels of the color patch

4. Range
The range parameter determines the number of colors which will be considered for correction. The larger this value, the more of the surrounding colors will be corrected also. Note that selective color corrections do not necessarily preserve contrast. If you work in RGB try our Chromex I plugin instead.
