Is there a difference in these techniques?

Image: 16bit TIFF.

1. Create Background Copy.

2. Choose Color from the Blend Mode menu.

3. Choose Brush Tool, with Mode/Normal, Opacity/100% Flow/100%

or.......

1. Create Background Copy.

2. Choose Color Replacement Tool, with Mode/Color, Limits/Contiguous.

I want to brush away color artifacts from a shot of a black and white line drawing. I'm not sure if the artifacts have been introduced by the cross-hatching on the drawing, or by the frame glass covering it. Perhaps a combination of both.

Using both of the above methods, the colour artifacts do disappear. I just want to know if one is better than the other?

Many thanks.

Lois,

Thanks for the reply.

The problem is I can't see any difference between the two methods. That's why I posed the question. But, I could be missing something.

As to converting the affected area to greyscale......not a runner. Looks terrible.
