ABSTRACT

Open up (or Revert) the Color Change.aep project from the Chapter 6 folder. Apply the Change to Color effect to the bird layer in the bird comp. In the Effect Controls panel, there are two color swatches. The From swatch is the original color (that is, the color we are changing), and the To color swatch is that we want the From color swatch to become (that is, the color we are changing to). Click the eyedropper next to the From swatch, then click on the rust-colored spot on the bird’s face. To make sure you’re getting the color you want, you can check the Info panel as you move your cursor around. The Info panel displays the color of the pixel over which your cursor happens to be at any given moment (Fig. 6.15 ).
