here we go...

There are several ways to chance colour of a car in photoshop... here's just 1,(might do 2 if i have time).

First, select the whole of the cars bodywork...



You'll see if you lasso around the parrimeter of the car, that the windows will still be selected. This is easyily sorted, by holding ALT while lasso'ing to de-select parts without deselecting the whole lasso work and CTRL to add bits while lasso'ing.

Secondly, once you've lasso'd around the bodywork you want to be a different colour, press CTRL+C and CTRL+V to copy the selected part onto a new layer.

The lasso bit shud go off and leave the photoshop looking how you originally seen it before you started working on it. Go to the layers box, shud be somewhere on your screen, if it isnt there, go onto window at the top and make sure layers has a tick next to it. Once your on to layers box... click here...



You'll find that the bodywork is selected again...

Next...
Go onto Image>Adjustments> variations. You see a box comes up with quite afew pictures of the car in but smaller...



set the little sliding thing under 'Saturation' right upto coarse on the right hand side, and to midtones like shown.

Then you can freely click on the images to change the colours. Once you've got a colour you like/want and press OK.

I've chosen yellow (how interesting... )



As you can see... It looks like the been overed in something involved with nuclear...

So to solve this, i simply could change opacity to make it less bright, But on this occasions, I've chanceg the blending mode... which you can see next to opacity in the drop down box, I've changed it to soft light.

And you finished, from...



to...



like? anything your no sure on say!

not bad for an hours work!</font>
