While using the recolor tool when using it next to the same color it makes a brighter colorr next to the edges

Does someone know how to fix this?

If your starting image has a change of color, or shadow >  The Recoloring Tool respects shading when changing the color.

 

As you will see, the blue on the top of the banana is lighter, because of the shading on the image:

@Pixey is correct.... So I was working with the original posted image and had some weird results. Allot of color bleeding. Then I realized I needed to change some settings on the toolbar. Try the following...

 

Hardness 100, Tolerance 10%, Tolerance Mode = Straight, Sample Secondary Color

Perhaps Pixey can chime in with her settings?

 

You might play with the Tolerance % based on what you are recoloring. Start low 1 or 2 % and increase as needed.

I've been playing with this tool a bit more and I'm wondering if it is a bit 'glitchy'?  Perhaps someone else can check this please. 

 

I got different results with different colors.  With blue I got better results, but with orange, not so much.

 

 

      This is the result if you let go of the mouse and 'paint' over, it changes the color.  I don't use this tool so much, so am not                                                         sure if that it the way it works ?

Something else I noticed is you need to turn off Anti Aliased Rendering, otherwise you get what the OP described as lighter/darker pixels.

If @toe_head2001 and, or, @Ego Eram Reputo could check on this tool please 🙂.

I usually use the tool with Sampling Secondary. True I have to set the Secondary color, but this is less prone to (my own) error than sampling from the active layer.

Tried it just now. Worked as expected using the default settings on a simple image.

 

I'm wondering if the OP is finding a border created when multiple recoloring operations are performed. Below there are three yellow stripes. Created one at a time. See the bright yellow border between them?

 

Pro-Tip: don't let go of the mouse button until the entire area is recolored (for this reason I usually use a very large brush).

Thank you @Ego Eram Reputo   Yes, I think the OP did not keep the mouse button pressed down.  Thank you for clarifying that tip/point.

@Ego Eram Reputo I follow what you are saying. But I do have one question. You have one source & target color and I am seeing 3 resulting colors. I understand how you got two of the colors, by recoloring, creating the brighter borders. What I cant figure are the green pixels.

That's being caused by multiple passes of the tool.  Hence the importance of keeping it down to one pass only.

 

With constant pressure and one pass over the color:

Thanks @Pixey, seems to have been a tolerance setting

Not quite. It's the recoloring of a previously recolored region. Hence it only happens at the border. I suspect he OP has recolored top+left region then released the mouse and  recolored the bottom+right. The lighter pixels are the places where a double recoloring has occured, i.e. the intersection of the two operations.

[Disk4mat]

I meant I see green pixels in your recolored stroke. I made an example. What I was trying to figure out is the relation between the tolerance either recoloring the pixels or not coloring them and why they arent the replacement color. Im gonna chalk this up to its just the nature of the tool along with specific settings. Not implying anything is wrong mind you.

 

Makes me think of grade school when we would run water colors over other colors and get something different lol

Well, I had sort-of figured out that it needed to be a single pass, but when doing a recolor which has a fussy area, such as recoloring hair or clothing, doing a single pass is all but impossible. For instance, even a transparent background acquires coloring. Skin and background around a garment becomes colored. So do the face and ears near hair.

 

Is there a solution for this?

 

For hair, I tried making a copy of the layer, removing all but the garment in question, the recoloring it and re-merging the two layers.

 

I could try that more hair, but with all the wispy parts of hair, it's difficult to get a clean cut out.
