kina Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) So I'm trying to change the blue areas on the garage of the below picture to white using Affinity Photo. to match the rest of the garage and I've tried numerous different techniques I've learned from Youtube but white only turns the blue to gray. Any advice/tips on how to match the blue areas to the white areas of the garage/house? Edited May 8, 2020 by kina added program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Try HSL adjustment layer and play with the saturation way down and the lightness way up.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Those rect areas contain a bunch of different colored pixels not just blue tones.

The color tolerance selection is currently too coarse or sensitive in affinity and does not apply properly.

Probably - in this case is works fine. But Photo replaces the color and does nothing more. It is a hue-placement.

Jowday Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I am used to this interface in Photoshop... with options to correct lightness and saturation. Photoshop also struggles a little with this image. The grain certainly doesn't help either program. Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."

v_kyr Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 In this case where those rect tiles are more or less pixel compositions of several different tonal colored pixels, one could also alternatively add a B&W layer (tiles would get black) for making/getting better area matching selections. Then taking the hopefully better and finer grade selections over to the color layer and replace/fill the selection color.

hannah Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Not a re-colouring-answer : (As the question concerns just the tiles of the garage) so far the nicest looking for me, was stitching together a tile made of the white parts of the garage and putting them above the blue... looks convincing!?

If you can add a little similar noise/grain, yes. 🙂 Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."
