[Solved] Need help in photoshop

[DREADMAN]

I wanted to change the color of the shining zombie eyes (yellow shining eyes) to a different color using Photoshop Ps.Zombie skin easily changes color by changing the "saturation/color tone".But the eyes do not change to a different color (only the brightness of the eyes changes).I would like you to make the zombie eyes red (change the eyes of a red zombie with shining eyes).
Show me how to do it with screenshots with explanations.

Which zombie model are you talking about? "units\creeps\Zombie\Zombie" ?

Yes,bro

Try this:

I usually use Brightness/Contrast in conjunction with Hue/Saturation for areas that are too bright to display any color. I should probably mention that if you create a new Adjustment Layer while an area is selected, that adjustment layer will be applied to the selected area only. In fact, if you select an Adjustment Layer and use any tool like Brush, Eraser, or even Blur on its Mask, you can change how the Adjustment Layer is applied to its area. This is useful for precise edits.

Additionally, you could try copying and pasting the eye, or even the entire face, from the other zombie skin (the blue one). Its eye might be easier to recolor.

Thanks for the advice, but I'm a complete teapot in Photoshop and I only understood half of your words, haha

Can you send me screenshots step by step?
Unless, of course, you have the time and desire.

I can send you a .psd file and a couple of photos taken from google.

Notes:
1. Adjustment Layers include Color Balance, Hue/Saturation, Brightness/Contrast, etc.
All of them are located here:

2. You can use Selection Tools to select the areas you want to change using Adjustment Layers.
For Warcraft 3 recolors, my personal favorite Selection Tool is the Lasso. It is manual and requires a lot of time, but I got quite proficient with it.

3. I have attached a .psd file; This is an example of how I would create and apply Adjustment Layers to recolor a skin.
I recommend you to pay close attention to Layers and Layer Masks.
Layer Masks are displayed as these black and white icons near the layers; They display what areas are affected by each layer:

Good luck and happy learning!

That's the only way I did it.

Is it possible to select one color per selection and change it?For example, the skin is purple and the eyes are yellow, choose yellow eyes and change them to a different color?

 

[ISL]

Yes, that's the whole point of Layer Masks. You assign each Hue/Saturation layer to its own area (Skin, Clothes, Head, Eyes, etc), so you could change them separately.

 

[DREADMAN]

please upload a psd file with an ordinary zombie with shining eyes, but so that his eyes have a different color.
I still haven't fully understood

That won't work with the eyes.

There you go.

 

[DREADMAN]

There you go.

Thank you, thanks to you, this discussion will be closed!You not only made layers for the eyes, but also for the whole body, haha.I understand now thanks to you, thank you very much!

 

[DREADMAN]

There you go.

Hello again!Yesterday you sent me an example, I wanted to use this example as a basis, but I noticed that it does not have transparent zones (invisible zones).And when I use the skin on the model, the transparent areas are colored black.I wanted to create transparent zones in Photoshop myself, but something didn't work out.Then I wanted to just copy the eye overlay from your example to another skin (new skin), but it didn't work either.
Could you drop the psd file, but so that you cover the eye area and not the whole body?
so that the skin has cropped sections (invisible sections).
Pls...

Edit:I did it myself after 2 hours of video lessons

Those look good!
Congrats!
