Close Encounter with a Green Lynx Spider

[FrankMi]

Frank... Thank you. I will try this again one day. Here is hoping that you get a bee in your bonnet because that blue noodle made for some very strange colours (I tried several different colours)

I took a crack at this and it's not as easy as I would have hoped. When the Replacement Colour didn't work very well, I duplicated the image and took the bottom layer copy to black & white, then tried the Replacement Colour.

Not much better, possibly because I couldn't find any colour that made the texture of the noodle look anywhere near natural. I finally opted for leaving the noodle in a light charcoal grey, a bit like concrete, and blended that into the full color copy in the top layer.

Because the blue had overwhelmed the thin legs, I couldn't completely remove the blue. Here is what I came up with.



It looks like perhaps the best way to address this might be a title change. Something like "Close Encounter with a Green Lynx Spider on a Blue Noodle"!

Thank you Frank. Yes, the colour of the noodle is something else, even with your highly proficient edit.

The best way to address this for future, for me is to never use a blue noodle for anything again.

Anyway, I have learned a lot from this thread. Thank you so much.
