 |
|
hi there....i am a newbie in flash programming and in dire need of help.
i am working on a project at the office. i am making a visual display aid where the customer can change the color of their car to simulate paint jobs. i am trying to develop it in flash.
what i did was i took a picture of a car and then convert it to semi transparent png in photoshop. and then i took the car's shape on a new layer and filled it with a solid black.
and then in macromedia flash, i superimposed the transparent image over the black one and then change the black image to a movie clip so the user can change the value of the color via three sliders (much like the one in the flash tut).
the problem in that the transparent image doesnt act solely as a highlight/shadow layer. it also carries with it the original color of the original car.
which is very annoying because if i make it too tranparent, the car would lose its contour and if i raise the opacity, the final color of the car wouldnt be right.
how do i seperate the highlights (and shadows) and the color of the car so i can make the color of the car totally tranparent?
i have been at it for so long my eyes are getting blurry....
thank you.... |

If you are looking to change the highlights and shadows of an image in photoshop, try selecting the layer with the image on, and then go to
edit>adjustments>colourbalance
From there you can edit the midtones, shadows and the highlights of an image,
Hope that helped
