MAIN IDEA: MAIN IDEA TO BE LEARNED

In this Lesson, you will change the color of an object using the Brush Tool and the Hue Layer Mode in GIMP.
Changing the Color of an Object 
There are different ways to change the color of an object using an image editing software; most of them require the use of
selection tools or masking. In this lesson, however, you will learn how to change the color of an object using a layer mode.
Take note that this method is best used for objects with bright colors.
Open the image file, Red Sports Car.jpg. Change the color of the red sports car in the image.

First, create a new transparent layer. Use the Paintbrush Tool to paint the object with the new color. To use this tool, go to
the Toolbox and click on the Paintbrush Tool or press the shortcut key, P.

                
Select the color that you want to use in the Foreground Color Selector. In this example, the color yellow with the HTML
notation, cce918, was used.

In the Layers Dialog, create a new layer and select HSV Hue as the Mode. This step is crucial so you can effectively paint
the new color on the car. By using HSV Hue mode, GIMP can easily distinguish the color of the car from the background
color, allowing you to paint on the car easily. Make sure that the subject has a bright color compared to the background.
Also make sure that there is no selection before brushing. Otherwise, the paintbrush will not work. Right-click on the image
and click on Select ► None or press the shortcut keys, Shift + Ctrl + A.

Go to the Paintbrush or Tool Options to adjust the brush settings. (1) Make sure the value of Opacity is 100. Otherwise,
the color you will paint will look different from your chosen color. (2) Use a soft brush like 2. Hardness 075. Finally, (3) set
the brush size to a medium size, and just decrease its size when painting on the edges of the car.

Use the Paintbrush Tool to color the entire car. In the example, only red was affected by the brush— not even the
windows and wheels—because it is the only bright color in the image. When you paint over the edges, use smaller brush
sizes to make sure that parts of the background are not colored.

The car should now be painted with a different color. Notice how the details like the shadow in the car hood is still present.
This is because you used HSV Hue mode, which paints only on the car (bright color) and not on the background.

No matter how carefully you brush inside the car, it is still possible to paint on some areas of the background.
    
To remove the excess color, right-click on the transparent layer and select Alpha to Selection.

The Alpha to Selection command creates a selection where you brushed on. This visible selection path will be the guide to
where you can erase the excess color. To use the Eraser Tool, go to the Toolbox and select the tool or press the shortcut
keys, Shift + E.

       
Zoom in on the problem areas and erase them with the Eraser Tool. Use a small brush size to do this.
