Lighten Up an Image

Eventually I will have to recolor the blue letters to green.

I have started the process of cutting the letters out and I have no worries that it will look fine.
I am just wondering if there is a better way to go about this.
Thanks,

click on the background with the magic wand, then right click>inverse selection.
cut the letters
paste onto a new layer
then it will probably be easier just select the layer you want to change the colour of hit cntrl+U and tick the colourize box and your sorted.
not sure if thats what you mean?

actually thanks for that mooey, ive never thought of that one beforeon top of what Stu has just posted, try using the Select option instead of the wand. go to "select" and then "colour range". Gives you more control on what colour you want to select.

Woah dude, dont use the paintbucketI had already done it using the lasso and it did pretty good, I tried using the color range method and the cut out was excellent, but when I apply the paint bucket to the selection, everything turns:
Easy way to recolour a layer is to use the layer stills, or use image - adjustments - hue/saturation. Select colourize.
One last thing, make sure your editing a layer with a transparent background.
