Patrick by the Sea Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I want to design the pick guard of this guitar. It sits on the body, surrounds the pickups and is under the strings. Is there anyway I can break this image apart, edit the pickguard (re-colour) and then re-assemble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komatös Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Hello and welcome to the forums, @Patrick by the Sea You can use the Colour Replacement Brush Tool. Press B or click at the little triangle near the paint brush icon. You must first mask the areas that are to be recoloured. You must also take into account that reflections and mirroring remain in the selection areas.

Patrick by the Sea Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Thanks Komatos. This tool looks perfect but the result is disappointing... I'm getting an uneven pale pink rather than a vivid orangy red ... any ideas why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Color Replacement Brush is really a Hue Replacement Brush (as explained in the Help) and keeps the original Saturation and Lightness values. I suspect that will explain what you're seeing.

Komatös Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 @Patrick by the Sea Here is a very good explanation of how the colour change brush works. walt.farrell 1 Quote AMD Ryzen 7 5700X | INTEL Arc A770 LE 16 GB | 32 GB DDR4 3200MHz | Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (22631.3296) AMD A10-9600P | dGPU R7 M340 (2 GB) | 8 GB DDR4 2133 MHz | Windows 10 Home 22H2 (1945.3803) Affinity Suite V 2.4 & Beta 2.(latest) Better translations with: https://www.deepl.com/translator Interested in a robust (selfhosted) PDF Solution?
