Title: Wanted: Front end layout color change
Post by: TAG on October 01, 2010, 02:15:10 am

I’m looking for someone more proficient than I am with Photoshop and the like who can take the attached classic front end layout (sorry I don’t know enough to provide credit for whoever originally designed it!) and convert it from blue-based to red-based to match the trim on my cabinet (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=87220.0).  I tried filling in the areas with shades of red, but the shading and subtleties of the original just didn’t translate for me.  If someone trusts that they can do a good job with it, just let me know, and we can work out some kind of fee.  Thanks!

Yikes don't pay someone to just adjust the color! :)  Here's what you can do, I assume that you don't own photoshop so go get paint.net, its at http://www.getpaint.net/ (http://www.getpaint.net/) amusingly enough.

Open your image in that and choose Adjustments > Hue/Saturation.  Now just play with the sliders until you get something you like.  There are only 3 so its really easy.

Edit: I suggest paint.net because it is freeware.  You can of course do the same (and more) in PS.

Well, I just figured that if it was going to take someone time to do it, they'd deserve to be compensated.  That didn't preclude volunteers, of course!   ;D  Thanks for the pointers re: Paint.net!

(Case in point, re: volunteers)  Looks good to me!  Thanks so much, I appreciate it!
