Changing Colors
In this tutorial, we will be aiming to change the color of an image. If you found an image that you like, but the colors of the dress / character / hair are not what
you want, you can alter it this way!
What we are aiming to do in this Tutorial:
What You Need:
- Photoshop (I use CS4)
- General Knowledge about the Program
1) Create a new layer by going Layer ---> New Layer.
2) On the new layer, set the Mode to Overlay.
3) Select the brush tool from the toolbar and a color (I chose blue). Start coloring a section of the image. I colored the dress:
4) Create another new layer and set it to overlay too. I prefer that you use the same color. Now color another part of the character. Here, I colored her hair:
5) Create yet another new layer and set it to overlay. Color another part with the same color that you used preferably.
6) This is optional. If you are using a PNG, you do not need to do this. Create a new layer and drag it just above the original image and below the overlayed
layers. Set this layer on overlay too. Color the background / surroundings with the same color or another one.
7) Go to file --> Save As --> FILE NAME HERE (and save it as .png preferably).
Well, that is the end of the tutorial! Pretty simple, eh? I love this effect, though I never use it on PNGs that I extract or download xD I kind of stick to the original colors, just improving their quality. However, I know that there are many people out there who want to learn how to change colors of images, so here it is!
