Video 2: http://video.google.com/videoplay?d...shop+tutorial+2 [Link Updated - January 23rd 2006]
This video shows you how to:
- Use the magnetic lasso tool.
- Change the color of the seat, and plastics.
- Use photoshop's "colorize" feature.
- Save + Load premade colors.
- This video takes a long time to load but is slower so you can see everything better.

Preloaded Colors
Remember in the video how I saved a color I used for one plastic, selected the others and loaded out the one I used in the beginning? You can do the same, or you can download ones that I have already made. Use the link below, extract the files, then in photoshop do control + u or for mac apple + u. Next, click load and then browse for the extracted ahu files. Finally, click OK and then deselect and move on to the next thing you want to colorize.

Magnetic Lasso Tool - How To Use
-Select the "magnetic lasso" tool.
-Click once where you want to start, then go around the rim or plastic.
-Once your finished selecting what you want to change hit enter.
-Hold down control u (for windows) or apple u (for mac).
-Check the colorize box and move around the approaite slider until you get it to the color you want it at.
-Hit OK, and then deselect by holding down control d (windows) or apple d (mac).
Note: The magnetic lasso tool examines the shading of a picture to determine where a "edge" is. Sometimes it makes a mistake depending on if the shading is too light or dark. You can guide the magnetic lasso tool by yourself by clicking when you think it will make a mistake. If you mess up, just hit enter, and control + d or for mac, apple + d and restart your selection.

How To "Sequence" In Photoshop [Sequence Credit: FMXZAK - Added 11/11/2005]
-Open up all photo's in photoshop, then click on the first picture.
-Place the rest of the pictures ontop of it so there is the main picture and 6 layers ontop of it.
-Use the main picture as the background and first frame.
-Make all other frames but the main one invisible, and set the main one to 50% opacity, then line it up with the background.
-Earse everything about the body and bike.
-Repeat for the rest of the frames.

is the Magnetic Lasso the same as the Lasso tool. Cause mine says its the lasso tool. And none of the videos worked for me.

[Nick110]

Well here is my first attempt at doing something. This is without any of the tutorials because they dont really help me at all.

[Nick110]

Make sure your Layer isn't labeled BACKGROUND, change the name of the layer by double clicking on it and renaming it.
Then go to Adjustment - REPLACE COLOR.
Use the Replace Color eyedropper, select the color you want to replace, then select the new color which you want to change it to - the click APPLY and your done.

I think you guys are using a way newer one than me cause mine doesnt have some of the things your talkin about.

But after some more work i made this. Its nuthin special but its my 3rd sttempt. And you can swap the parts out with the Sequence method right?
