So I'm trying to post a picture of a yellow 03.5 that I turned into an Orange 03 (with an 03.5 wing) on the board... problem is, it keeps on saving it as the yellow version. I'm a dumbass when it comes to Photoshop. Can someone give me a quick pointer on how to do this rather basic task?

is the orange a seperate layer?, if so, flatten the image and try again.

see... even that's too advanced for me. I have no idea what you're talking about there. I simply opened a picture I saved of a yellow MSP and then messed with the channles a bit till the car turned orange. figured all I had to do at that point was save it and then post it on the board... but it saved as a yellow instead of orange!

this is probably the equivalent of asking someone how to indent in Word!! only one way to go at this point!

you need to use the selection tool, and trace the outline of the car, then use alt and trace the parts you dont want changed...then mess with the hues and stuff, then save.


or you could have someone else do it.lmao
