I scan lots of vinyl record covers to create a nice front to the CD
case I will be creating.
Where a cover has an area of solid flat colour, the scan of this area
consists of different similar colours, giving it a slight texture type
look.
In the past ,I have used "Paint Shop Pro", where you set the
foreground brush colour to the colour you want, select the color
replacer tool and use the tolerance amount to change colours close to
the foreground colour. With this you end up with the area being all
the one solid colour.

I can't seem to do this in PhotoShop. Color Replacer seems to be
mainly used to change to a different colour and colours close to that
one will also be changed, but the overall area keeps the same texture
type look.
Hope this question makes some sense  :-)
Has anyone got any ideas to help???
Cheers
Gary

Maybe use the magic wand tool and play with the tolerance till it selects the region you want?
