Anybody out there a wizard with photoshop or any program where you can copy just the color from one photo and then use that color to fill in sections on a different picture? In short, i have a phot of a bintage car in its original color but its a different car than mine and I want to see how that color would look on my model before deciding if thats the color to paint it. Anybody know this is done or of a service that will do it? Thanks!
I know they have such a program for houses and interior decorators and see no reason that you could not fool your computer into thinking your car is a house?? I think you would have to select the color from the palette in the program though.
Now that is funny as many of our Cadillacs are as large as houses!!! ;D
Jeff,
Most programs I’ve seen and used have an “eye dropâ€; this tool is to copy the color from the picture/photo into your color pellet. Once you have it as the main color you could use the “brush†or “paint can†to fill your second picture.
I’ve Corel Paint Shop Pro and I do the copy and add/change of colors with these tools. The only caveat with the “paint can†if the color blends into the picture lighter to darker or vice-versa, it tends to filled the entire section and overlapping. But this is outside your main question..! ;)
It's not too difficult to do with Photoshop. If the color from the sample car doesn't copy very well you can still get a pretty good match with the pallette in the program. You can email me your pictures and I can mess with it tomorrow for you. I've attached a picture of my black over white '66 Eldorado that I Photoshopped green/red for a Christmas card a couple years ago.
