3 easy steps to recolouring items

 

 

Some items on GraphicGem have been either greyscaled or coloured so that they can easely be recoloured by you.

Here we will show you how you can recolour items in 3 different ways.

 

Below is showed the items BEFORE they have been recoloured.

 

 

There are 3 easy ways to recolour items.

 

Random colouring:

 

1. Open your psp and load the graphic you want to recolour.

 

2. Go to Adjust > Color Balance > Manual Color Correction.

 

3. Either use the options on the left (1.) to find a colour you like, use the Randomize Parameters (2.), or add the numbers for a colour you already know (3.).

 

This option is best used if you just want a random colour.

 

 

If you wan a more specific colour, try this option:

 

Red/Blue/Green

 

1. Open your psp and load the graphic you want to recolour.

 

2. Go to Adjust > Color Balance > Red/Blue/Green.

 

3. Use the 3 colour scales to find the colour you like (1.) or use the Randomize Parameters (2.) to find a random colour.

 

This option is best used if you want basic colours.

 

 

Last option is the best option for finding exactly the colour you want.

 

Hue and Saturation

 

1. Open your psp and load the graphic you want to recolour.

 

2. Go to Adjust > Hue and Saturation > Hue/Saturation/Lightness...

 

3. Use the 3 colour scales to find the exact colour you want.

Hue (1.) lets you specify what colour you want.

Saturation (2.) lets you specify the depth of the colour and Lightness (3.)specifies the light/darkness of the colour.

 

This option is best used if you want to find a specific colour .

 

 

 

 

Here is the result of the 3 colourings we did of the original graphics:

This way you can recolour background tiles, decorations, etc, so you get exactly the colour you want.

Enjoy!
