    Hi Guys,

    I showed this thread to my mate who is by no means a photoshop expert, within about half an hour he was churning out the viking pic in many different colours, give it a try! From everything I've heard its not that difficult

    Thanks for the instructions Jam!

    Paul.

          black/dark objects are a nightmare to recolor (there is a reason car companies almost alway do their product shoots with neutral, light-colored vehicles).

          your only real hope is to create a new layer with just the bits your want colored and play with the hue/sat/lightness until you get it to look close. and then dump JAM's method on top of that layer. even then the results are never stellar.

            You could try to take a picture of the gun against a white background. That might help?

              pito189- while helpful to make the image look better as a whole, a white background doesn't aid very much in the recolor process. "multiply" layers more or less add additional pigment to that section of the image/layer. if the section is already dark (ie: bunches of pigment) simply adding more will only make it darker, not really recolored.

              you first have to go in and rip out some of the existing colors, while maintaining image details (shapes, hilights, shadows, ...) then apply the color mask to the area to get some semblance of what the dark item would look like if it were originally colored a lighter tone.

                  Yup, what synreal said.

                  you can also use the levels command on the original (back) layer and bring up the black so that it will be darker to match the colored part.

                  Also, lower the opacity of your color layer just a bit, nothing in the real world is quite that bright.

                  But in general, the more neutral your original image the better. Nothing recolors like a dust pewter or dust silver.

                  black is really hard and so is chrome.
