The easiest way I've found is this:

1!. Make a new white layer!. Fill this layer to whatever colour you want your selection to be coloured!.

2!. Set the layer blending style to hue!.

3!. Erase everything that you don't want!. Use the lasso with feather edges as to not make the areas you cut out jagged!. Use the smallest eraser size to get rid of extra pixels that the lasso can't get at!.

4!. Go to Colour tools->Hue/Saturation on that layer to change the colour!.

I hope that's clear enough!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
