you know, it's funny...that was the very first time i asked for pay on one of my edits...

You're a relatively new member here DN.
We've gone around and around on this free edit thing for a long time, way before you joined.
What we prefer is people ask for assistance in doing PS edits.
What we get sometimes is people just looking for free edits with no interest at all in learning PS.

In the past we usually allowed all of these requests and let the members decide whether or not they wanted to do the edit.
Some of our members like these posts and look at them as opportunities and challenges to do something different, something to practice on.
Others think it's ridiculousness to spend hundreds of dollars on a program and years of time learning how to use the program, just to give away your work.

Here at PSG we let you the member decide which side of the issue you agree with.
Edit or don't edit, we don't care, but these threads and posts aren't the place to debate the issue.
Anyone can post a request, the staff will decide which ones stay and which ones get deleted.

Any requests that make it past the moderators will be done for free.
If nobody want's to do the edit that's fine but asking for payment or flaming the OP is not acceptable.

Thanks for the help guys. You have been very helpful. Although, I don't really think that hood would look very good on my car.

So now you know :mrgreen:

and dirty, I don't know what happened to your attachment. It wasn't a matter of being approved. Probably what happened is that you clicked the submit button before it finished uploading. Sometimes it can be slow and we're finding this happens. I wait a bit extra now as I'm tired of having to go into manage attachments to get it fixed.

How to quickly recolorize

 

[Paul]

Care to explain the actual process Raikkonen please?

 

[raikkonen]

okay. it's very simple, "as easy as 1 2 3"

according to Photoshop Help, "...the Gradient Map adjustment maps the equivalent grayscale range of an image to the colors of a specified gradient fill. If you specify a two‑color gradient fill, for example, shadows in the image are mapped to one of the endpoint colors of the gradient fill, highlights are mapped to the other endpoint color, and midtones are mapped to the gradations in between."

In other words, we can assign any color to greyscaled version of an original picture, eg red to black, yellow to white and reddish-yellowish to grey.

Of course, we can make a more complicated multi-step gradient. So we can easily turn the whole car to gold.



In the first example I just picked 4 color samples from the different parts of the car and made a gradient map for the hood using them.



UPD: actually i didnt pick a sample from a new hood cause it wasnt colorized at that moment.
