Recolor

[Tigersong]

This must be obvious, but how do I recolor a sprite? Ideally, I'd like to end up with several more colors for the wolf sprite that comes with the RTP. Using Photoshop has never been my strong suit...

I used GIMP 2.0s color select option,its good for simple edits,but not very professional.

Have you tried using the Color Replacement tool?  It's right under the Pencil Tool, and is a fast and easy way to give different shades to your sprites.

I've moved this thread to utility discussion. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.

There are 2 ways to go about it. The easier way would be to play the hue/saturation slider until you get your optimal color.

But that's not very precise. If I want a specific color, I'd use the Color Replacement tool. Since I cannot even comprehend the theory behind matching clothes color irl, I also use a color wheel to figure out the best shade color, complementary colors, and all those fun stuff.

If you want I can do the recolors. Just tell me what color wolves you want and I'll start.

Thank you very much, Luminous. Could you leave room on the sheet for more colors? Just having black, white and brown wolves will do for a start.

Alright. I've got you 8 different fur colors and 5 different eye colors, giving you 40 different wolves to choose from. I also have some other recolors. You should check 'em out. They're right here --> http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/2792-luminous-recolors/ <--
