Anyone an expert of Gimp, changing colour of a vehicle

[TheSmiler]

I'm using gimp to change the colour of an image below I know someone could do it for me however I want to learn how to do it myself and can't find clear instructions online. I was just wondering could anyone be so kind to do step by step instructions. I've got a few more images I want to play around with to see. Hope someone can help me.

Why you no photoshop? Gimps far too restrictive and has a crap UI system IMO. Download Photoshop CS5 portable or any version, select area using magnetic lasso tool, copy and paste area to a new layer and then CTRL + U to play around with colours. I just did it in shorter time than it took to write this out (that's in Photoshop).

Couldn't tell you how to use GIMP, although it's one of the best free alternatives to Photoshop, it aint no Photoshop.

I've taken the liberty of changing the colour of your exhaust for you, bitches love pink zh0rts.

You can download the .xcf and fiddle with it yourself. I've put the colours as layers. To make another colour, duplicate one of the layers and flood fill the coloured section.

I did done a ewetewbe for you too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=225bFdjppvE Shows a number of different ways to extend the area selected. To add new selections to existing ones press and hold the shift key while selecting the new area.

I use the magic wand select tool to select the area I want (Set it less sensitive and hold shift to select multiple areas).

I then copy the selection and paste it into a new layer and anchor it.

If you want the side panel too, do the same again and paste into an additional layer.

Make sure your new layers are transparent background.

Using layers, you can work on each part independantly.

Black is trickier than a hue change. I usually slelect the desaturate option to make it monochrome then fiddle with the cntrast and brightness to get a matt black.

Here's the 2 minute version with the not very careful selection of the tank.
