any one know how to change the color of my car on photoshop 6.0?? if you could tell me how i would be much appreciated
thanx

 

Image->Adjust->Replace Color. Just move the sliders.

 

It works a lot better if you select only the car first, either by using the magic wand, or the lasso tools. You can also use the Adjust->Hue/Saturation sliders to change the color. It's a combination of the two that creates the best color change jobs.

 

When I am just fine tuning the color I like to use image>adjust>variations. If I am totally changing the color (like in my sig pic below), then I do just like Jza suggested.

TTT

 

here is my attempt....tell me how it looks..i am excited now that i can do this...lol.

 

woops...here is the before pic...also..how do u post more than 1 pic at the same time?????

 

everyday i see a new GTA and im falling in love w/them im gonna buy one i swear i will il have the best of both thirgens nice car man

 

looks good

 

thanks..but it isnt my car...I wish. Actually the guy is sellin it...sry cant tell u where he is located b/c i wana buy it sooner or later...lol...he doesnt want to sell it that bad so he keeps postponing it...he said that by the time i am ready to buy it he will b ready to sell it. The only downside to the car is the hardtop...but i could deal with it. Even though i found this cars twin w/t-tops. This GTA in the pic has some work done to it. He told me it has 130k miles on the car....only 20k on the vette TPI engine. The previous owner raced w/nitrous and like melted the pistons or something like that. It has the hooker aerochamber exhaust...edelbrock headers(he doesnt know if they are the TES since he bought them used), MSD ignition, B&M megashifter, newly recovered leather seats. The car looks mint to me...I just need to go take a look at it..but that will be in a few months...for now i need a car w/better gas mileage....so i may need to go with a car other than an fbody ...but soon enough i may be driving around in her. There is also a chip in it...and he said it has the WS6 package..but he isnt sure what rear is in it...but he knows it is the stock rear. He wants 4 grand...do u think that is a lil steep??? Should I look for a GTA w/original engine and no mods. He seems to like fbodies though b/c he has about 3 of them...so i dont doubt that he takes care of them. Let me know.

man if i had 4k id buy that car i want 3500 for my 86 z28 and iknow il get it and it has the stock motor its all show no go so its worth 3500 to someone who aredy has a motor or plans on putting in a motor only thing iv done is paint it corvette red w/racing stripes swapped the red interior w/gray took the ugly *** stock z28 wheels off and put on 90 IROCs that i picked up for 200 bucks w/good tires and added the IROC grill and no im not a poser i still left the Z28 badges on good luck on buying the GTA thanx 4 all the help guys im having a blast w/photoshop me and my friend even lower and recolor a cow

 

Is there any way to truly replace the color? So far I have just been able to distort it to other colors. I can't figure out how to turn a dark green truck orange, or a black truck any other good color.

 

i turned a silver car to a really cool neon orange by going to images->adjust->color balance and messed w/that stuff im still tryingot figure out how to get one color from one car to another car i wanna take the racing stripes off my car and see what it looks like so far i havent been able to oh well I WILL LEARN HOW and i will tell you jus give me a week man

 

holy ****! is your car really that color, the orange one?? I dunno why you would ever wanna change that!! I love those kinda rust colors like the one jeep uses on the newer cherokees and wranglers. . I wish my formula was that color, although it does look good in black :-D

 

I assume you are talking to me and not Jim? I have two thirdgens, my blue '86 and a medium metallic orange '88 IROC. I don't like the rusty orange real well on my '88 so since it needs paint anyway I am going to paint it in a metallic version of '69 Hugger Orange (or as close as I can come with a metallic anyway) with white stripes. I'm not changing the color of my blue car, I like it the way it is. I photoshopped the blue one to get an idea of what my orange one will look like when it is done.

 

I was trying to be simple. Here's how I do it. Take image and duplicate layer. Use the Adjust Selective Colors and tweak to my liking. If anything else gets change color wise in the image that I don't want then I just use the Eraser and Erase it. Then Merge layers after I'm done and I'm finished!

 

I just copy the entore car body, but thats beside the point. The problem that I am having is changing the color. I can tweak it, and I can even change it completely. It is just that I cannot remove one color and replace it with another. Black cars stay black, dark green cars will never be orange. I can make a dark green car a great color of burgendy, red, blue, or... well... green, but never orange or red. Any help?

sorry guys im trying to figure out how to post pictures of my car and its just not working out this blows goats

 

 

 

why do I have to do everything manually on mine?

 

?

 

TT effin T.

 

Yep.

 

Here's a few complete color changes on that GTA pic above...








Almost all of that was done with the magic wand and playing with the tollerance for the selection, and then using a mixture of Desaturate, Color Balance, Curves and/or Channel Mixer...

Basically just play till you hit on something you like.

 

I dig the last one. It reminds me of Mother Mopar's "Sublime Green".

 

heres a quickie lowering(about 2 inches) along with a color changing paint job that i did up
before:
after:

 

anything is possible in photoshop

 

Don't we wish it were just that easy in real life.
