Sure - just select the area you want to change, then go to Image>Adjust>Hue & Saturation. Here you'll find three adjustments:
- hue, which changes one basic colour to another. Use this to make blue cars green etc.
- saturation, which is like the 'colour' control on your TV. Turning it all the way down converts the image into black and white. That's what I used on the wheels to remove the gold colour and leave them silver.
- lightness, which works like the brightness control on your TV. I usually find it best to leave this alone.
You may also find it useful to try the Image>Adjust>Brightness & contrast; subtle adjustments here are worth experimenting with. In the case of the photo above, simply desaturating the wheels left them looking more anthracite than silver (nice!). Turning up the brightness made them silver, but also made the brake calipers and tyres too bright, so it was very obvioius that the wheels had been tweaked. Turning up the contrast fixed that.
Before making any adjustments, I copied the original wheels and pasted them into a new layer, making all the adjustments to that. As s finishing touch, I created a mask for my new layer and edited it to allow the coloured brake calipers to show through from the layer below. This was much easier than accurately selecting each individual spoke in the wheels in the first place, and allows mistaked to be corrected later on.
Good luck,
Andy.
