Folks,
am looking for some technique guidance really.
I have a bitmap that represents a flatened car body. you can see it at www.bammaconsulting.co.uk/testsite/bra1.bmp (750kb). The flattened image gets used in an application later on in a process that i won’t go into. Anyway. The car is currently green and I want to turn it red.
My attempts to do this by selecting the green area and thhen using hue and saturation to change the colour certainly do just that, but at the expense of the ‘reality’ of the paintwork. it looks flat and dull without any of the original shine.
Can anyone give me a pointer as to how i can change the colour of the paintwork without losing that great shine effect?
Oh, and if possible, speak slowly as I am a relative PS newbie. PS7 by the way.
Cheers
Dave
