If you need to ask me any questions, contact me through whichever board I know you from. That way you'll get the fastest answer.

Alternatively you can join this board and leave a question for me here. However it might take a long time for me to get back to you.

Now combine that with the fact I hardly check this board, and that means your looking at a very long wait time.
Don't say I didn't warn you. LOL

Maybe you just want to change one color.... well the Selective Color Tool can help you.
It works just like the "color balance tool" but just for one specific color at a time.

1)Open your image
2)Open the Selective Color Tool (Layer-> New Adjustment Layer-> Selective Color)

*Now don't be discouraged by this part.... It's just a mini explanation to help you understand how this tool works.* :)

*Red and Cyan are opposite colors on the color wheel..... It means they cancel each other out when mixed, and your left with grey.
The same goes for green/magenta and blue/yellow.*

It's kind of like black and white, they are opposites. You mix them together and you get grey.
So to make grey turn black, you have to remove the white.

The same applies to the colors.
To make something turn red, you have to remove the cyan.
To make something turn green, you have to remove magenta.
To make something turn yellow you have to remove the blue.
And vice versa.

So you're just basically messing with the color balance.


To change the jacket from blue to purple I messed around in the "blues menu" (I'm messing with just the blue color, because that's the original color of the jacket.)

You can see that I:
-Removed the Cyan (and added more red). *see how it's - 100% for Cyan*
-Added more magenta (and removed the green).
-Added more yellow (and removed the blue).
