Easy way to convert color range to another?

I would like to convert the purple color in this image:

enter image description here to blue such as:

enter image description here

Is there an easy way to accomplish this? If not, is there an easy way to replicate the same effect?

Thanks

You could separate the image in R,G and B channels, and replace the red channel by zeroes, leaving only the G and B channels.

Example in Mathematica:

i = Import["http://tinyurl.com/3wqklof"];
ColorCombine@{ImageSubtract[#[[1]], #[[1]]], #[[2]], #[[3]]} &@ ColorSeparate@i

enter image description here

Edit

Or, If you need an "exact" blue image, separate in the "HSB" color space, replacing all non zero values of the H matrix by 2/3 (blue), leaving the S and B components untouched.

Example:

ColorCombine[{Image[2/3 ImageData@ImageAdd[#[[1]], #[[1]]]], #[[2]], #[[3]]} &@
              ColorSeparate[i, "HSB"], "HSB"]
