Summary:

If a picture is recolored so that the color of one region now matches the color of another region, any subsequent changes to the color will affect both regions.

For example, changing orange leaves on a picture of a tree to match the green grass will link the colors. The next time you recolor the picture, there will be only one green to change. As a result, changing the leaves back to orange will change the grass too.

Workaround
Keep a back up of the imported picture until the final changes are made because this type of change is not reversible.
