I thought their was a thread on this not too long ago but I couldnt find it. Im trying to change a background color and couldnt figure it out. What do I have to do to change a background or like the color of my car or something?

I'll do it, I'll write down the steps and then post it up.

Just link me the image, I 'll get to work.

The answer to that is probably more complicated than you think. There's more than one way to do it. I'd like to see other people's methods.

Here is a quickie with my method. . .

Synned I just tried what you kinda said and it worked. I selected the area I wanted to change>Image>Adjustements>Hue/Saturation and played with that a lil and it worked. Is their any other ways to do this? Zero, how did you select that fender without selecting the Cobra emblem?

If everyone is interested, I'll do a writeup tonight and put it up on my website. Its actually pretty involved if you aren't familiar with PS.

Will do. Yes you can just select it then change the hue/saturation/contrast but then it will look too fake. It washes out all the highlights. The cobra eblem will look orange and the lens flare off the fender would look dark and orange , so you have to deal with those elements separately but it's not that hard if you know how to do it. I get off work at 5 (AZ time) and will put something together. My website has a major lack of articleage anyway.

But remember you can't make a flat colored car look metallic and visa versa. So if you have a black car, don't expect you'll be able to get it to look like DSG with the metallic highlights.
