I’m trying to change the color of the aluminum siding on an image of my house. I took a digital photo of it. The sun was casting a shadow on the siding under the eaves. I’ve selected the siding and when I paint with color mode or fill with color mode I get a very gaudy color from the shaded part of the siding. The white siding looks colored as it should, the shaded white, which looks darker in the photo, becomes much more saturated.

How can I balance it so that the shadows look natural when coloring them (darker color rather than more saturated) ???

Play with Image/Adjustments/Color Balance or Hue/Saturation.

Thanks, but I have a swatch of colors I’m using the eyedropper on and want to use them rather than adjust colors to match.

Maybe I should just delete the shadowed part from the selection and leave it gray.

Have you tried Darken mode instead of Color mode?

Hi Warren,
The shadows still don’t look quite right, but it looks a lot better than color mode. Thanks a bunch! I’ll use Darken.

‘Darken’ would be a better option I think.
Obviously the white couldn’t darken anything but the black (I’m assuming it’s true black) would be preserved.

create a new layer…fill it with green, and set that layer to multiply…this might work.

Hi,

I have a drawing, black and white, but with cmyk profile. I’d like the background of this image to be.. say green, but preserve the black of the drawing itself. All the white would be transormed/replaced by green in
other
words.

What would be the easiest way of doing this? Spot color?

Create a new layer.
Fill it with the desired color.
Use the Blending Sliders in the Layer Styles Menu to adjust as desired.

double click the layer in the layer box and turn it into a layer then use the magic wand and select all the white spots then click on the fill box select the green you want and use the paint bucket to fill in the white spots. or use the magic wand on the black part and select it then go to edit ,copy then create a new document and paste then select your color and using the paint bucket fill in the background layer.
