sweet...thanx alot...ive been using the transparent spray paint...lol, this works ALOT better

 

ok the in the ps I am using, when I goto recolor the car everything gets colored (including the headlights) how do I make it not do this?

 

first off. make a duplicate the layer, then do the coloring on the second layer (ur duplicate)...so then you can go and erase the headlights because the original pic is on the background.

ok jelly bean?

 

ok i get it, this is odd b/c it only happend when I did my car (since it is silver) It didn't happen when I did another car (it was blue so I could select blue on the drop down screen)

thanks so much tho I'll try that!

 

np
yea..silver, white, and black are tricky...you have to play around with it

very good to know

 

if you cant use the lasso tool you could use the magnetic lasso tool....makes things much easier cuz it attaches it self to the lines of that your outlining....

i use the polygonal lasso...much easier when u have a shitty mouse! and Chaos69 if u lower the saturation and play around with the brightness the color will look alot more realistic!
