Need help with Photoshop Saturday, August 04, 2012 12:42 AM (permalink)
Hello,
 
Im going crazy trying to figure out how to change the color of my house with photoshop. Is there anyway to select the color of my house and change it without changing the color of my windows door roof and so on. 
 
I have CS6 and ive been playing with it but i cannot get it to look real. I am about to get my house painted and wanted to see what it would look like before i did it.
 
Can any Photoshop Guru help me out?
 
Thanks 
Coty

    If not the  lasso tool should work too

      I was trying to use the Replace Color tool last night too.  I didn't realize it would set the target color as the forground color; that's why it was always set to black.  When using this tool with the color picker, it would automatically set the foreground color and that's why I would get the problems.
       
      Great guide!

        Yup color replace - just adjust the tolerance if it is replacing too much / too little of the color you want replaced. I'm assuming it still works that way in CS6.. I'm still using the first CS edition, aka Photoshop v8.0, lol.. wish PS was not so expensive - v8 doesn't play well with Windows7-64..
         
        I tried Gimp but it's just not the same...

          I'm used to the old way where you'd mask off the area, grayscale it, adjust levels and then apply the color to it as a layer over it with opacity settings.
