  3. Click the From color box to select the color probe, and select a color from the pop-up menu to specify the color you want to replace.

  4. Click the To color box in the Property inspector and select a color from the pop-up menu.

    Tolerance
    Determines the range of colors to replace (0 replaces only the To color; 100 replaces all colors similar to the To color).

    Strength

    Colorize
    Replaces the Change color with the To color. Deselect Colorize to tint the Change color with the To color, leaving some of the Change color intact.
