Yeah so in an attempt to save madness money and insanity I'm trying to show how different colours work on this woodwork. However whilst I can find the replace colour command it seems to only do a good job showing me what green varnish would look like. Trying to show a darker or lighter brown or cream or such seems beyond the hue's capacity to alter.

So anyone here able to have a bash at it or got a better method to change the colour of something?

mask it in photoshop.
the problem is, different paints will look different in your house under your lighting than at the store.

You could have done it in the same time you complained about my assistance attempt.

The counter to that would be that you could have done attempt #2 as your first offering though too, right?

I am sure it takes much less time to just reply in a thread too, than to copy and paste an image into a photoeditor, mask out the cabinet, run through 6 different color combinations, and append them to a single JPG, to upload it to a post. ;)

Looks good now! You just need Overread to see if the colors are what he is looking for, or share the PSD with him. I did the same thing with the back of our house to try out different colors of siding. That was tedious work, we have many levels across 3 stories, so that took time. :( Yeech...

or got a better method to change the colour of something?

If you have Photoshop:

  • Select the wood.
  • Open a hue/saturation adjustment layer (the selection will become a layer mask)
  • Change blend mode to Color.
  • Tick the Colorize option and adjust hue and saturation.
  • With the same mask, use a curves adjustment layer in Luminosity mode to brighten or darken.

Thanks guys! :) I forgot about changing the colour temp being a thing (so many options in photoshop!)

I'd been trying with the hue/satiation command and hue was only changing it within a limited band of colours.


As for if any are the "right" colour I'll have to see what the powers that be feel about that aspect and return with the verdict

Powers that be are demanding "cream" shades which I can't seem to find on the hue slider? I can get greys though!

Cream would be likely a combination of all sliders, not just Hue. Possibly will need contrast too.

Quick attempt to show what I mean...

Aye, though all I seem to get is a grey shade - I think possibly because the woodgrain effect is kind of muddying it and making it appear grey instead of cream. Like as not what I'm after probably isn't possible without painting over the grain.

I posted an example, but yes, I agree, it will be hard to get a cream colored shot that still has the detail and coloring you are hoping to obtain.
