How to change a car color on photoshop from white to black?

i want to change my car's color from white to blackHow to change a car color on photoshop from white to black?
ok well im going to do this as i write to make sure i do this right ok?



im starting by using the magic wand tool to highlight all the white pieces of the car (that i want to change to black) spend some time with this to make sure you get all of it. right click and then select feather, if it is a higher quality image then enter about 0.5 - 1.5 or if it is a low quality you might need up to 3.



what i did was then go to image %26gt; Adjustments %26gt; Curves and bring the top of the line to nearly the bottom. what that does is lower all the white that we selected until its a very dark shade of grey. oh yeah, then click ok. ^ ^



next i went over where the shadows are with the burn tool (press O until you get to burn) change the setting to shadows and change the exposure to about 10 - 20, then darken the areas which deserve more shadow. and for the shine you should use dodge (which is under the same button as burn) change the setting to shadow as well and lighten up the bits that should be lighter.



at the end of this it should look farely natural, but if you have a grainy picture (as most of mine do) you might want to go to Filter %26gt; Noise %26gt; Add noise and play around until it looks the same as the rest of the picture.



well good luck and i hope this works out for you.
