The_Lionhearted Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Conditional hue/saturation plugin may help you, depending on the picture. You can find it in the plugin section. Welcome to the forums! Quote My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deborah Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I found I could do it by: 1. Selecting the coloured parts of the car with the magic wand 2. Use Adjustments > Hue / Saturation to bring the saturation down to zero (makes the car gray) 3. Use Adjustments > Curves on the RGB setting to get the car to the colour I wanted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltBait Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 You can do the same thing by using the Adjustments > Black and White menu option. Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveabbott Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 ok (sorry to keep askin quetsions) but i got it grey and now i just can't get it a good color.. i want it like a baby blue but i try usin the recolor tool and ti dosnt' really work and the levels didn't go well for me either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBlackLamb Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Curves would work nicely. Go to Adjustments > Curves & then at the top there's a drop-down menu, choose RGB & uncheck the green & red boxes then move the line until it looks good. It may look better if you lower the green & red values too. Quote dA Son, someday you will make a girl happy for a short period of time. Then she'll leave you & be with men that are ten times better than you can imagine. These men are called musicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 ok (sorry to keep askin quetsions) but i got it grey and now i just can't get it a good color.. i want it like a baby blue but i try usin the recolor tool and ti dosnt' really work and the levels didn't go well for me either Now that you have it black and white, try the Color Balance plugin: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=3135 I find it much more intuitive to use then Curves.
