derrabe Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I am not sure what this actually called sorry I am still a newbie to photo editing. I just tried to search for this but since I am not sure what to call this I am reposting my question. I am trying to change all on color in a designated area to another color keeping the shading the same just in a different color. Here is an example of what I would like to do. I want to change all the shades of green to dark purple keeping the same contrasts once i pick the base coloring. If you can just direct me to what this is called so i can better search for it or if you can provide me a quick guide you assistance would be greatly appreciated.

david.atwell Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Hey, that thread title works perfectly well. :-) Try this plugin: viewtopic.php?t=1102 and see if it works. I think you will find it works pretty well. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies.

oma Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 yes sorry should have mentioned that as I've so many plugins I sometimes forget not everyone has downloaded them all :wink: the plug ins are here. viewtopic.php?f=16&t=21750 viewtopic.php?f=16&t=22215&hilit=alpha+to+color How? not sure how to explain it. I just instictively know what sliders to move.. play around with it for a bit. the tolerance is important it seems to control the range of the color you've selected. perhaps more is explained where you download the plugin. check that thread and ask your questions there about using this plugin. that way all the answeres are maintained in one section making it easier for the next guy coming along to review how to use the plugin. .

derrabe Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Thank you so far very helpful and insight full I an still trying to figure out how you cam up with this sting of numbers 100 299 100 100 91 191 131 0 0 how would i figure out how to separate out the browns or flesh tones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oma Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 oh oh the short answere is .... go read the section covering that plug in the author of the plugin shows an example. you use same principals hint eyedrop the skin tone and follow for your alpha color. :wink: and i tried it out you might need to do two passes to get all the skin tones. again ask your specific plug in questions over there so everyone has the answeres avail to them about this plug in use in one spot. makes the search function work better all around. ciao OMA PS welcome to the forums hope to see some pics of yours up in the pictorium soon.
