I'm creating an ecommerce website for entrance doors and I need to create loads of different colors from a handful of door images, because the base image is different for each style of door, how do I get exactly the same color for each style?

    Hi c.pfaffenbichler,

     

    Fantastic!! excatly what I was after. I should have explained that I am very new to photoshop....How would I start what you have recommended above?  


    You need 

    • a Layer Mask of the area that is intended to vary in color. 

    Then you can use 

    • Adjustment Layers to remove the Color (Hue/Saturation or Black & White for example) and 

    • make them similar in brightness and ideally also in detail (Curves or Levels for example). 

    After that you can use 

    • Solid Color Layers or Adjustment Layers to colorize the door. 

     

    It If the colors are all fairly similar in brightness it should not be that bad; but if you need to create very light and very dark color-variations those may need additional finagling to save at least some of the details and wood-structure.
