Hi guys, I'm thinking of doing a paintjob on an older bike but having a hard time visualizing it. Can anyone help me swap out the colors in this picture? I wanted the blue to be a candy or bright orange. Thanks!

Here's a quickie - hopefully it will give you some idea ...

Wow, how did you do that?

select the area of hte photograph with the bike,
then selective color tool, it will only change the colors in the area such as blue green, red and so on that you want to change. Other colors will remain intact.

Yay! Thanks a lot Myo! You just taught me to do something that I've wanted to be able to do in a very long time.

There are usually many ways to accomplish the same thing in graphics editing software. In the above case, I used "Replace Color ..." in photoshop.

I would've just adjusted the hue

Yeah ... but then you'd have to carefully select the bike which is more work given the small size of the image and the cluttered background.

Wow. I've got an.. erm.. "copy" of Photoshop. I've been meaning to give it a shot but haven't yet.

Here you go.

My monitor calibration might be a little off.
