"Replace Color" function and other Masks

I am trying to change the palette of an indexed image without losing the color table indexes. I want to change a bunch of colors at once.

Image->Adjustments->Replace Color (while still indexed) is exactly what I want. And it works, mostly.

The problem is I am trying to select a mask of multiple colors with 0 "fuzziness" so I can adjust their hue/saturation etc.

But, when I go to hold SHIFT to select multiple colors, I get all these other colors that I didn't want included in my mask, despite that fuzziness is set to 0. I tried selecting all colours and subtracting colours and this also fails.

For example, I select ALL colours in the mask by holding shift and picking every colour in the image (there are 24 colours). Then after ALT->clicking 2 colours, it actually deselects ALL 24 colours. I want it to only deselect the exact 2 that I picked.

Magic wand works in this way with 0 tolerance. Why doesn't the mask picker? Any suggestions?

I can't convert to RGB->back to indexed because then the color table not match up.

Thanks for any help,

Jesse
 
On the replace color window; do you have Subtract from selection?
can you screen shot the menu if not, and a sample of the picture
 
I just tried uploading a file using IE and Firefox and neither worked...

Ummm.. what a pain. I downloaded winzip and everything just to zip it since it wouldn't accept rar.

I even tried uploading VIA URL and it said "Upload failed due to failure writing temporary file."

That's the URL anyways. It should have 3 images showing what happened, and 1 image which is the source picture.

Picking 1 colour works right (photoshop_1.png)
Holding shift to pick all colours works right (photoshop_2.png)
deselecting 1 colour for some reason deselects a ton of other colours? (photoshop_3.png)

Okay I just tried writing the link in here and it said: "To be able to post links or images your post count must be 5 or greater. You currently have 1 posts." Seriously.

Here's a mangled link so I get past the thing:

cozeroff(dot)hopto(dot)org(slash)javafiles(slash)temp.zip

Thanks,

Jesse
