Color change

Post by bigluke »

How do i change the color of my car in Photo Shop?
i have adobe photoshop 7.0. Ive been trying to do it and i know there is an easy way rather than going in and doing it with the paint brush. Thanks

You gotta make a new layer for the pic, then airbrush over the car with a color in the new layer, then use the different layer properties to get it right.

I use two different methods of changing the colour - variations, and outline what you want painted with a lasoo tool, and fill it in. Then make that layer semi-transparent. It is hard to do with white though, becuase the colour under it shows through. I also dropped the car, tinted the windows, rims, brakes, and a really bad attempt at a clear turn signal.(Sorry for the big pic)

The deep yellow looks really good! The platinum looking one is pretty good too.
