Can anyone do a very simple Photoshop chore for me please?

[AuDioFreaK39]

I will admit, I am teh total nubzor when it comes to photoshopping. I'm trying to make the color of one of my Vista sidebar widgets match the color of my other ones. This is what I need done:


I need the colors from the first image placed onto the second image as indicated by the arrows. Both images have rounded edges, which is why I gave up trying...

What I'm trying to do:

Image 2:

P.S. - If possible, I would prefer if image 2 had the same whitish edge color as image 1.

Thanks in advance.

Wouldn't it just be easier to cut the middle of the first image out, widen it appropriately, and then paste it back in, creating a taller image of the height of image 2? I don't really see why you need to go through the pain of doing what you're talking about.

I can't do that because the images have rounded edges..

Umm...what? I don't see how the edges matter.

I want them to stay curved. You can't just copy and paste the color because the pasted section would be squared off.

select the area you want to change colors on, then play with it's hue until it looks the way you want

Um... copy and paste a section including edges. The story that just had to be told. LOL

make selection of the section you want changed (with magic wand), select paint bucket tool, change foreground color (the tool with 2 squares overlapping, one black other white) by using "color libraries" then choose color picker and click on the other image you want to copy the color from. Then fill the selected image with that color.

The greyish image is a gradient, not a solid color, so the magic wand tool won't select it as a neat box.

ok, the job was done via taking the first image, resizing the canvas to it matches the second image, rotating the canvas 180 degrees, and then using the free transform tool selected on a strip of the blue and dragged down to match the proportions he is looking for. OP, PM me your email if you want me to send it to you.
