  Alright I'm sure this is pretty basic for some of you, but I just can't seem to get the results I'm after.

  So I have this original picture:
  

  

  And here's what I need to do:
  1.) Change the color of the cloth to a dark red/pink.
  2.) Separate the cloth from the white background and put it on it's own layer.
  3.) Keep the edges/shadows intact so it can be imposed realistically on top of a different background.

  Here's a crappy example I did in 2 minutes:
  

  

  I struggle with the edges. I think I need to be using channels but I've never really worked with them before. How would you guys approach this?

  Thanks!
