This is just some armor I recolored, I was bored and figured I just do it to see what this armor would look like in a different color let me know how it looks.

Painful on the eyes. But nicely done, just work on a better color scheme.

This one is with a different color.. not sure how good of a color but again I'm trying
Take that blue bit out and it's nice :)
if you plan to do something with a screenshot, use bmp, jpg realy hurts my eyes but nice work
hehe ^^
Try a less saturated color and your results will be better.
If you have a tablet, try using a brush in color mod instead of hue/stauration controls ^^
The gloves themselves actually look quite nice - they just don't go with the rest of the armor at all :confused:
Looks cute :o

Hehe. I'd love to make a wine red version of Blue Wolf for female healers - but not only do I lack a good screenshot, I also lack the confidence to pull it off well without either a tablet or lots of time. xD
You can always do a /replace colour in photoshop. It only takes a few seconds ( per colour ).
I was checking around the screenshot of Mielle for colours matching at 0 tolerance, trying to make a selection - in the end i wound up doing it by hand, was faster.
You just have to know how to use it right.

The selection can be really dirty. In my example, I made a five second silhouette around the figure. After that, I simply sampled the colour(s) I wanted to replace ( blue ), then I moved the levers around until I got a desired effect. Cutting them out and pasting them in place took longer then changing the colours.

The only hard part is sampling the colours ( and that is easy ). All you do is pick one, sample the chosen colour's mid tone, then a highlight, and finally a shade. It will pick up anything within the range and hue... so it is likely that it will bleed into another area... which is fine, because lowering the tolerance or using soft eraser/ history brushes cleans it right up.

Sorry for the spelling, and general ******ness of the image... but you get my point.
Omg Bhod that red BW looks awesome. They should allow us to dye our robes and armor like that, those colors are great.

And Viper, I like your choice of where the colors should be placed, however you keep choosing overly saturated colors, was difficult to look at straight. Try darker, more subtle colors if possible ^_^
Thanks for the description, will try!
if youre using photoshop
I would use a new layer in mode color over it. Then you can paint each part individually.. but again, that can be tricky for someone with a mouse..
Actually I got Paintshop Pro.. so I'm not all that good with it yet.
The first picture here was done using one hue and one overlay layer. :p

I now made a few tender pink elves using Replace Colour. It's quite fun. :D

.... or people who don't know what they're doing.

This is the way I would do it, should I ever feel the need to do so. I need to have absolute control over the outcome. /replace colour is nifty for quick corrections.... but it doesn't compare to good ol' fasioned brush work.
:p Replace is much quicker though. It'll be hard to go back to manual selections now - but I suppose there's no such thing as an easy way out. ;(
It would look cool in a 2 tone color scheme like black and yellow. or red and silver. the way you got it now its just hard to see the lines from piece to piece cause all the red blends together.
That second one is hot stuff. I would have been a little more thoughtful while recolouring the legs, but the rest... oh man, I would love to see that ingame.
Look pretty hot. :)

The saturation is still a bit high for my taste, but the colour sceme is nice.

Here's the last picture of this armor in this color...it's from the second one but a little bit more color balance I believe.

This looks realy nice. hot shot^^ :p

I suddenly get the urge for a hot dog :p
wow that was like a long time ago.. I'm surprised anyone was able to find it..
I have a pic of a recolored Blue Wolf Robes on a DE female, but I can't seem to find it. I'll post later if I find. Was awesome looking recolor to a very pretty red color.
