Colour And Shape
 

How do i apply colour to an image while keeping the original shape, form and lighting eg;to change the colour of someones clothing or selctive parts of someones clothing while still retaining the shape?

er...why would the shape change of changing the color?

Well, you;
1. Make a new layer
2. Make a selection of the area you want to "paint"
3. Fill it with the color you want
4. Change the layerMode to "hue"


^ there. :)

.....or, if the person's got say a shirt with red spots all over, and you want to change the dots ONLY, you could use the eyedropper to pick up the red shade, and the choose Select > ColorRange, and make the smoothness depending on the image. Then either make the new layer thing, as I said before, OR press CTRL+U, and change the Hue from there. :)

Or you could start a nationwide manhunt for this individual...track them down...go to wal mart and buy the color shirt you want them to wear....force them to put it on and into the trunk of your car...drive to the location of the original photo...and then snap away with your digital camera...

Just an idea.

you could select what it is you want to change with the lasso tool . then go to image adjust "hue/saturation".

Im not sure if thts the retard way of doing it but thats what i do. :o
