How to change the colour of a png image in any adobe software

Question

I have a logo that is a process color and I need to change it to a pantone colour. The only way I could change the colour was if I live traced it but I lost some detail. So I was wondering if there is another way I can do this in any of the adobe software programs without losing any of the quality.

Solution 1

It's a raster image. You can lasso, feather, whatever... but you aren't going to have the same quality as you would have with a vector image.

Solution 2

In Adobe Illustrator, do the following:

• Go to the Edit menu, select Edit colors and then Recolor Artwork
• Select the target palette in the Limit the color library (a color patch icon, in my case at the lower right side of the window) and click OK. This results in the target colors, compliant with the chosen colorbook, are shown in the Swatches window.
• Select each object you want to recolor and just click the right swatch color. Adjust the tint as necessary.

Another (even quicker way) to do it:

• Select all objects
• Go to the Edit menu, select Edit colors and then Recolor with preset and select the number of base colors you want to use.
• Select the target color library and click OK twice.

Without seeing the image it's a guessing game for which of the many ways to accomplish this would be the best, so I'm flagging to close as unclear.
