Hi Phil,
on the subject of 'Replacing Colours' here is an image from the Net I tried a macro of mine on. Another one of my unfinished macros - BDSKinTones. I click on an average area of skin colour and then run the macro. It promotes the background to a layer and names it "original" and places 5 copies of the image on separate layers, each with a skin tone variation. I use buttons to quickly view the layers, one at a time and whichever one is selected when I click 'OK' is retained while all the others are deleted. I am left with the chosen edited image plus the original intact below it. I added some 'heavy' smoothing and makeup. I usually apply less smoothing and makeup, but I was watching a movie set in the 1800s and it looked a little like this.
Best regards,Brian.

with X5 things are easier than they used to be. You simply drag a macro to a GMS folder on your hard drive and then the next time you fire up PP the macro is visible in the Macro Manager Docker. You then double-click the macro's module, or select it and press the play button at the bottom of the docker. In this particular case a vba form appears with some controls on it.
here is what the macro interface looks like. I could go into details telling you how it actually works, but I don't want to bore everyone to death.
