: How to change color keeping gradients/opacity I have a problem Lets say i have selected an area with is predominately one color lets say blue. But this blue is not 100% blue in all places.

@Shanna688

Say you have an image like this:


Use the Magic Wand tool, select a pixel of the most typical color, adjust the Magic Wand tolerance to select the area you need to recolorize:


Now you have multiple options:


Use the Hue/Saturation dialog to change the hue to orange:





Use the Levels or Curves dialog to increase red and decrease blue:





Add a new layer, fill the selected area with orange and select an appropriate opacity and/or mixing mode:

With the limited amount of information that you have provided, I have what should be a simple solution.

Create a new layer above your existing gradient with whatever new color you want, and set the blending mode to color (it's in the layers panel at the top left). Then your gradient magically recolors itself!
