Fig. 1.32

Select the Magic Wand and while holding down the Ctrl key, click once on the yellow. This will deselect the yellow area and leave only your cushion selected. Isn't that amazing?


Fig. 1.33

Select Adjust > Hue and Saturationand then Hue/Saturation/Lightness. Your settings were set previously so you don't have to worry about them. Click OK.

Select Adjust > Brightness and Contrast and then Brightness/Contrast. Once again, the settings are already there, so click OK.

Select Layers > New Raster Layer and from the menu selection in the box, this time choose Color (instead of Multiply) so that we can make the color a bit brighter.

Click on the Flood Fill tool, then click on the foreground color swatch, and then on the tiny button to bring up your saved swatches palette. Select the color you previously saved for the blue bed's cushion.
