Hi im changing colour of images daily. but i noticed some stuff does not look realisitc even when their colour is changed. 

 

i have been reading multiple guides how to change colour. its the most comfortable for me to change colour by right clicking the layer and going to layer style

 

 

 

i like this way because it allows me to copy excatly same colour as in image B. 

 

while using selective colour does not allow me to get every possible colur.

 

i must use a lot of combinations there to get tone i have in image b i simply cannot copy it with one click.

 

 

i have been trying to change colour of this gray bumper to white one

 

 

but i get very poor result. bumper looks silver and the more i lighten it up the worse and less realistic it looks. it looks like glass lol.

 

 theres no way for me to make it look white without it being too bright

 

 

i have asked chat gpt to edit image it does perfectly job can anyone eplain me how chat gpt did it? i really like chat gpts job and i would like to be able to do it by myself but problem with chat gpt is its only few times free and its slow + it tends to change the way bumper looks.

 

u might not notice it but the bumper does not look like on orginal photo anymore. it has been litle deformated

Hi

Here I used a Curves layer to do the heavy lifting of lightening the object. The Hue/Saturation layer, set to colorize, can be used if a slight tint to the white is required.
