DoctorMlemm Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Hello! I need help changing the color of this image from green to darker colors. The hue/saturation tool works wonders but I can't seem to be able to make it dark red or brown, since there is no Value option. Is there any other tool I could use to change the color of the lines and their respective glow from green to a darker shade of a color?

AndrewDavid Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Hi @DoctorMlemm Welcome to the Forum. Quick and easy method Adjustments/Black and White +Add new Layer Set blend mode to Overlay Fill Layer with the Red to suit your needs Merge Layer Down If not bright enough, duplicate layer and set top layer to Additive Merge Layer down Hope this helps.

You could also apply Brightness/Contrast after Hue/Saturation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 My method: Duplicate the layer Apply Adjustments > Black & White Set Blend mode to Difference Flatten Hue/Saturation: Up the Saturation to 200 then play with the Hue slider. Red is around 94. For brown use Hue 120, Sat 160 & LIghtness -20. 9 hours ago, DoctorMlemm said: The hue/saturation tool works wonders but I can't seem to be able to make it dark red or brown, The trick here is to make the image something other than a primary shade of green prior to using Hue/Sat. This is why I used an adjustment layer. After step 4 you have a pleasant shade of purple which has solid components in all three color channels. Think of these as something Hue/Sat can chew on Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
