how exactly are you getting the colors to look so fluid and real? What setting are you going to and changing (in photoshop)

Photoshop 101: Color changing

Ok lets get started.
1) First I want you to mask off exactly what you want to color change with the selection tool.
2) Make sure areas like windows and what not are not selected.
3) Now copy and paste
4) now this new layer (we will call layer 2) needs to be changed to B&W. How do we do this? go to Image-Adjustments-B&W and hit enter *dont change any settings*
5) Now you have a clean B&W copy.
6) Double click the layer to apply an effect. choose color overlay
7) for dark colors you can use Linear Burn, Multiply, or Overlay (which every gives you best results)
8) For light colors like white use Linear dodge.
9) But wait its just a solid color thats right! while your still in the affects window you should see a slider for opacity for the overlay simply slide the opacity lower an lower until you get the desired color. I usually set mine close to 40-50% typically but it really depends.

The method I tend to use is a quick mask to select all the obvious bits, and once I have that mask, I'll save it as a selection, and copy and paste the bits I want to change on a new layer. After that, it's a simple Image->Adjust->Hue/Saturation. Hit the Colorize checkbox and then play with the sliders until I find the right combination.

Remember when working with other color vehicles you need to convert your image to a black and white image. This will enable you to add the color you need correctly. Refer back to my instructions at the top of this page

Can someone please change the wheel color to black???

THANKS!!!!!!!!

[zpatt]

Has anyone done a same color headlights as the car (matching color) photoshop instead of the blackouts? Sort of like how they are with the Corvette. If so, please send me there or give it a shot. Considering that option instead of the blackout. Thanks.

I think i've decided on my wheel tire combo. Now i'm just looking for a kind soul to do a photoshop for me. The Volk GT30 in matte black from the first pic into either the 2nd or 3rd pic. Many thanks.
