stevebirkbeck Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I need to recolor this hoodie. How do i change the colour but keep the shading. Every attempt has resulted in filling the outline with a solid color and losing all the relief. Any help would be appreciated Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briamoth Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Open it in Paint.Net. Then go to adjustments then go to hie saturation and play with the sliders there until you find the color you are looking for. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebirkbeck Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 Yes, thanks I'd spotted the hue/saturation function but the sliders dont quite give me the colors i'm looking for. Say I wanted to change the hoodie to bright yellow? It works with the sliders but the end result looks pixelated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarkut Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 stevebirkbeck: You could try this: If your original is not already in render form, you can remove the background by - Magic Wand > Delete > Feather Object plugin. Turn it to gray scale by - Adjustments > Black and White. Use Adjustments > Brightness / Contrast at 100 and 0 settings. Repeat. Now position a new layer above the adjusted hoody layer. Use the Paint Bucket tool to fill it with the yellow that you want to use. With the adjusted hoody layer active, Magic Wand the background area. Now, with the yellow layer active, press Delete. Set the yellow layer's Blend Mode to Multiply and merge it down onto the adjusted hoody layer. If you want the shading to look a bit different, use different settings with the Brightness / Contrast adjustment, at that step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsotola Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 you can use adjustments/curves to adjust the blue color contrast then use adjustments/hue to change the color hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
