it's it a solid colour, Image - Adjustment - Replace Colour in Photoshop. If it's more complicated then that, good marquee tool work to select, then replace. Post the shot.

Sorry for the sidetrack, but does Photoshop really spell it Colour on the CA version?

It's actually known as the Correct, or 'Original, Not Dumbed Down' version.
"The origin of the word 'colour' is in Middle English (developed into Modern English in 16th Century), which actually borrows from Anglo-Norman French in this case. 'Colour' has many definitions and uses (About nine, and then a tonne of little bullets). Somewhere between colonisation, revolution, and the Industrial Revolution, the English language had no central regulation. Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language (1755) is the source of most of the current British spellings, but American English became somewhat simplified in spelling during the times between this book's publication and Noah Webster and his An American Dictionary of the English Language of 1828. Webster was a large part in changing the spelling of the language because of his philosophies and strong nationalism. What would've been seen then as the "correct" spellings have been listed as variants, and still are today."

It would be helpful to see the image. If there is a lot of translucent detail (ie: hair, a transparent veil, etc.) and/or you have a lot of color spill from the b/g, a simple color replacement unfortunately isn't going to be the answer. It's usually pretty easy to pull the body off of a b/g with a mask. What you do with the hair will make/break your final product.
