Digbydo 2 Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Imagine a line of 10 or more 'Lock-up Garage Doors'. (or Beach Huts) ~ They're usually the all the same repeating oblong shapes and the colouring is mostly a drab green or an off white. I'd like to figure out a way to change what ever the existing colour is and change it to a different colour probably a Pastel Colour but I'd like to start with one door and then… on the neighbouring door, gradually increase the strength of the colour or… perhaps go through a whole range of different colours on each door such as yellow, pink, orange, blue etc; etc; I'm pretty sure it'll have something to do with 'Selections' of some sort. Either one-at-a-time or all at once. However, beyond that I haven't a clue what to do, how to proceed or where to start. Can anyone point me to a tutorial that would help or suggest the steps I need to take to achieve this effect? As always much'o thanks for any help or advise given. Quote
GarryP Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 This sounds like it should be a fairly easy thing to do but the best technique may depend on the image itself. For instance, how are the doors oriented to the viewer? Are there occlusions to contend with? How is the image lit? Etc. Etc. Can you share the image so we can advise better? Quote
Digbydo 2 Posted June 28, 2021 Author Posted June 28, 2021 This is probably one of the most difficult ones I'm thinking of doing & but I wanna start with a straight-on shot of some garage doors 1st. (I've got the idea in my mind. I just need to locate some garage doors near me and take the shots failing that I'll get some stock photos from un-splash or similar. I hope that helps) Quote
thomaso Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Looks like a perfect task for HSL adjustments and its detailed and separated options for color, saturation, luminosity, applied one per garage / differently masked areas.

NotMyFault Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 For images with more structured (equidistant) content, you may use a fill layer with color gradient, set blend mode to color, and a posterize adjustment (or procedural texture filter) to to achieve a defined number of colors. Maybe add a mask.
