I was wondering if there are any photoshop tutorials where I can laern the techniques used to change the color on the pt shown below.
I would like to preserve the highlights & shadows & just change the overall "tint" of the car without affecting the background or wheels/tires & black trim.
Do you do this by creating a mask?
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks Mike

yes Mike, create a mask over the area (+)you don't want to change- then the background is the only parts affected by your effects- so to speak

THanks for the info... That is kinda what I was thinking, but how do you color the section & still preserve the highlights & shadows?
Thanks again for te help! Mike

There is a "Replace Color" option in Photoshop, but it's been a while since I used it. Try a Google search for "photoshop replace color" and I think you'll find what you're after.

I just get my selection... then go images > adjust > hue & saturation... like this:

Mike,
Create a new Adjustment Layer, set it to hue/saturation, layer blending mode: Normal, then check the "Colorize" box in the Hue/Saturation dialog that comes up. Adjust the hue, saturation til preferred then click OK.
Now when you look in the layers palette the new layer will have a mask box in it automatically. Click on that mask box (filled with white) to make sure you're actively "painting" in it, now erase the parts of the image you don't want affected by the color.
I'll email you a file, it's pretty easy to setup.
