This was actually made for lalolalo, but I decided to post it here in case others could get some help from it.

 

This is a very easy way to change the colors of an object in an image. For the tutorial, I'm using the 3rd OCG version of Dark Magician Girl. This will work very well if the colors in the image are not too similar.

 

Tutorial Image:

 

 

How to do it:

1. Load your image Duh.
   
2. Go to Image |- Adjustments |- Replace Color...
   
3. Click on the part of the image whose color you want to change (in this case, I want to change the color of her dress, so I'll click on any part of her clothes).
   
   
4. Drag the Hue, Saturation and Brightness sliders in order to change colors. In this case, I wanted the color black, so I took the Saturation and Brightness sliders to the extreme left. Dragging the Fuzziness slider will determine the color range (if you want more than just that color to change). Here I wanted all blue to become black, so I took the slider to the extreme right. The preview will appear in the image window.
   
5. Press OK. This is my end result (after cropping):
   
   

Hope you like my tutorial. Comments will be appreciated. Ask me if you have any doubts :D

this also works if you want to change the colour of the cards.

 

nice tut, though i already knew this.

[Judαs]

Yup, it does, but it's likely that someone's image can have the card color in it, so I didn't say that. And yes, I knew many experienced Photoshop users will know this so I added "for newbies" on the title.

 

Thanks for the comment, anyway :D

[dragonkidskinner]

(not sarcasm)

[Atomix]

Nice tut you got there

[God GAK]

It is simple but i guess it can help newbs as you say in the title

[SushiTheLegend]

I'm not a newbie...but even I still don't understand it fully...o.o

[Cyber Altair]

ROFL.

 

it's really easy, you need to try the replace colour option for a while until you can master it.

[Judαs]

Feel free to PM me for help :D

I never knew about this. Cool. I never saw it because I prefer Adjustment Layers, and this isn't in that menu. >.

[Cyber Altair]

me too, but i stumbled upon this before i used to use the quick link to adjustment layers.

[OCG]

I used color balance >_

[Judαs]

Color balance is a bit difficult to operate, I found this easier :P

[Father Wolf]

on my photoshop its call something else (Hue/Saturation) but i use color balance or a hue brush insted

also in your tut u put "Drag the Hue, Saturation and Brightness" Should be "Drag the Hue, Saturation and Lightness". idk if its just mine but lightness and brightness are 2 different things lol

all and all a good starter tut

[Judαs]

Thanks for the comments everyone :)

And about the lightness thing, I'll check. I've got Photoshop 7.0.

 

EDIT: In mine it's brightness.
