How to change color? (56k)

Hi, I want to change the color of this Nintendo system:



The problem is that I need to do it quick since many people on a forum are asking me for different colors. Also I want to keep the buttons white. Any recommendations?

I doubt there is a quick way to do it... You are probably going to have to mask of the whole area you want to change and save it as a layer... but then it will be easy to change the colour to any you want... Either that or get an image with less shading.

One easy way to do it is to open up the image, go to:

layer -> new adjustment layer -> hue/ saturation

click ok on the dialog box that comes up. Then:

Click the colorise check box in the bottom right, and use the sliders to alter the colour of the image.

You can then use a simple layer mask on the adjustment layer to remove the colour over the buttons by brushing away the area that you don't want the colour change on.

There's a million different ways to do it, but this is just a quick and easy one.

Spot on, Ant!
