^Ofcourse! Silly!
Ok, maybe a stupid question, but how do you change the colour of the whole car like that, and still retain the light refelction?..Is it as hard as I imagine?..or is there a more simpler way?

Has MLK been watching the Fifth Element?
Adam go to Layer-New Fill Layer-Solid Color
Set the blending mode to color. Then rasterize the layer and erase around the car. Simple as that.
or select the bodyparts, and play with the hue⌠Im sure there are dozens of way to do thisâŚ
Play with photoshop⌠my n#1 adviceâŚ
Thanks, both of youâŚyeah, I was playing with PS for a while, then found out Iâd hit my limit with what I knew how to do. I should be looking at tutorials, but I find them a big brain drain for some reason. Thanks, guys
MLK and Falsh Gordon. Since you removed the door handles and well you removed the doors altogether, how does one get in the car??
you teleport in it, duh :trout:
(and note by the way that since my people teleport, cars are only used for decoration)
Well, youâve not been into photoshop too much I guessâŚ
hey itâs a method as there are others, to each his own wayâŚ
How would you do it, levi?
hereâs what I usually do:
âcut outâ the vehicle from its background (using a layer mask rather)
add a new layer and group it to the vehicle one
change blending modes (overlay, color etcâŚ) and play with this new layer
Ok, and please excuse my ignorance, but when you say layer mask (and yes, as soon as I reply with this, Iâm doing a search for a tut) you are saying that the layer mask will âcut outâ the car for me? I appreciate your help, and I promise to do my homework
Thanks, mlk
you need to paint in the background so itâs erased, iâll whip up a quick screenshot to show you how I work on knocking backgroundsâŚ
Cool, I appreciate it. Been browsing through tuts, the layer mask thing seems pretty powerful.
alright youâll see that normal knocking out occurs too with layer masks (ie using lasso tool, extract etcâŚ)
whatâs great with layer masks is that you can paint out what you donât want.
On the attachment I provided you see that I added a blue background color, thatâs to better contrast the cut-out part with the rest of the train. What i did there since itâs pretty much straight lines (and I have a wacom for selections) I only used the poly lasso tool, close the selection, select the layer mask, and fill selection with black (so it means the blue underneath is revealed)
Now keep in mind that you can paint directly on the mask, so it means when you have very small details or are handy with a cursor, you can âpaint offâ directly⌠I use it when I have curves too difficult to handle with normal lasso, or magnetic lasso)
layer mask & vector mask are very powerful tools, make sure you know how to handle them !
Thanks. mlkâŚI will give this a goâŚgot family coming over for dinner VERY shortly, but I will give this a go⌠Thanks for your time, youâre a big help
yeah, actually that is useful for me too⌠Iâm realizing i havent been putting my masks to good enough use! Iâm still probably much newer to PS than the majority of this forum and usually just use it alongside the gradient tool to fade things. Thanks mlk, i will definitely be using masks a lot more now. :thumb:
