Hi
I am currently working on a new project for a well known British Waterproof clothing company - With the timelines for samples (being manufactured in China) they only have one colour of one style of jacket available for photography, this image has then to be retouched into the 5 other colourways - with me so far?
The burning question is: the garment colour can be anywhere from a a muddy brown colour even black, ranging through to a light pumice colour (almost white) so.... how do I turn an image of a brown jacket into a an almost white image whilst keeping it looking as fresh as possible?
Any ideas? all the mid tone colours are a breeze - its just a hue/saturation tweak but getting from a dark colour to a light colour is very tricky and vice versa
I'd appreciate any help any of you lot may have to this seeingly easy task (in the eyes of the client) but believe me its harder than you think!
Cheers
WF

Can you post a sample? I'd like to take a whack at it.

Here's what I came up with. It's not perfect, but more attention to detail would probably help. I did these very quickly to get the point across.

The most important thing I did here was duplicate the original brown. Then on the duplicate run Image>Adjustments>Curves...
Then Ctrl+click one of the medium brown colors from the image. A dot will appear on the diagonal line. Move it around to change that range of color. You can play around with it and get multiple dots by Ctrl+clicking multiple times.
Does that all make sense?
