Thanks for the tip to look at Color Mechanic, which I did, but I'm not sure what makes it better for changing colors of selections than with one can do in Photoshop via its various controls? With the demo version of Color Mechanic, I could not see what made it any better but perhaps I'm missing something? How does it do for High Res image retouching with regard to keeping the color information undamaged, for a lack of a better word? I find that using say Hue/Saturation in PS, can leave artifacting in some use. Many of these controls are really good for low res web or print work, but do not seem to be as useful for the highest resolution work. I need to keep my files as large as possible for archiving for my stock agency as minimum 40 MB files at approx. 1000 ppi or for output back to film as 35 mm or up to 6x9 cms. Any comments or comparisons on using Color Mechanic vs. Photoshop for changing color in high res work would be appreciated?
