Painting an object.

Hey good day guys. I was wondering if I can paint the brown box with blue but still keep the texture. :question:

I would also make a selection of the box when in blue and create a new layer from it. then make it a reflection on the floor on low opacity to reflect the color .

Just a personal thought that's all

I made a selection of the box with the pen tool. I then added a hue & Sat layer and colorized the box. Since this adds a mask, I also used a hard brush with black to clean up the silver corners and the handle. There's already a nice reflection in the original.



For fun, I thought I would try inkpads idea of adding a reflection.............this proved to be chore! I first combined the Hue & Sat layer with a copy of the original and since I had the box already selected, I copied the blue box to it's own layer. Flipping the box was a challenge! Maybe someone else can tell me how this can be accomplished easily!!!!



I ended up splitting the copied blue box into two sections and using almost all of the transform functions to match the reflection to the box! It's not perfect and the reflection is off but I'm satisfied with the results. I then added a layer mask and used the Gradient tool to blend the reflection! I lowered it's opacity as well. It is what it is.

Blues are way too over saturated for my liking.

Mine are for sure. I made a quick change for the demo only and wasn't to worried about the outcome. I think I tried to get close to the color of the bows.
