Understanding Replacement Modes

Exact Match Mode

This mode only replaces pixels that exactly match the selected "From Color". It's perfect when you want to replace a specific, well-defined color without affecting similar colors. This mode is the most precise but may miss slightly different shades of the same color.

Similar Colors Mode

This mode uses RGB color distance to determine which pixels to replace. It calculates the distance between the original pixel color and the target color in RGB space. Pixels with a distance below the tolerance threshold will be replaced. This mode is ideal for replacing color ranges or when the original color has slight variations.

Similar Hue Mode

This mode focuses on the hue component of colors while preserving the original saturation and lightness. It's perfect for changing the color family (like changing all reds to blues) while maintaining the original brightness and intensity of the colors. This mode is great for artistic effects and color theme changes.

Understanding Tolerance Settings

The tolerance setting controls how similar colors need to be for replacement in Similar Colors and Similar Hue modes:

• Low Tolerance (1-30): Only very similar colors will be replaced, resulting in more precise color replacement
• Medium Tolerance (31-70): Moderately similar colors will be replaced, providing a balance between precision and coverage
• High Tolerance (71-100): Many similar colors will be replaced, potentially affecting a wider range of colors

Tips for Best Results

• Use High-Quality Images: Higher resolution images provide better color accuracy and more precise results.
• Start with Exact Match: Begin with Exact Match mode to see if it covers your needs, then try Similar Colors if you need broader coverage.
• Adjust Tolerance Gradually: Start with a low tolerance and gradually increase it until you achieve the desired coverage.
• Use Color Picker: Click on the image to pick colors directly, ensuring you select the exact color you want to replace.
• Preview Before Download: Always review the processed image before downloading to ensure the results meet your expectations.
• Consider Color Context: Colors may appear different depending on surrounding colors, so consider the overall image context when selecting replacement colors.
