Hi,
I keep running to this issue when I recolor doors. Which is that if the window pane trim has a different color than the rest of the door or the door knob plate is different, I never get clean looking edges for the round parts. For example, the Tully Door from Strangerville. The exported DDS file shows that the coloring wasn't exact and so it makes it very difficult to recolor. I select pixel by pixel, but even then it doesn't look great.
I don't know if anyone has any techniques that help with these types of recolors (would putting it into Blender and creating different textures help -- and then merging into one?).
Any advice would be great!
Thank you!

Hi. Could you please show the exact problem youre having ( what you expect it to look like vs what it looks like) Try this: - export in png instead of dds; - add a Hue/saturation, limit it to yellow, for example, change the hue and the rest; - save, import back. It seems to look fine in my case, unless im misunderstanding your problem   |

Hi,
Thank you so much I will try an exported png and then let you know the results. I wonder if the dds form is causing issues with it being too pixelated or something (or not giving a clean edge). When I run the next recolor, I will show you. I'm not familiar with that method of recoloring (using the hue changing). I normally utilize actions (typically with color replacement or color fill with multiply). Perhaps I'm going about this all the wrong way. I will report back in a few moments.
Thank you!

Follow up question, do you separate all the elements that you don't want recolored. For example, I don't want the whole door recolored (the 'metal' portions), and so I hand select all the door elements that I want recolored and separate them. Is there a better way than this. Yours comes out so clean.
I'm trying to think of an image that would show what I mean and it's difficult to figure out what would be best. Essentially I just want to recolor the "wood" of the door and the black lining. I don't want to recolor the hardware, but when I try to separate them out it looks bad. Below is an image from a different door that really shows what I mean.

It depends on the original image. If there is a difference in colors between the handle and the door, then you do not need to separate the handle, just limit the hue/saturation modifier to the color of the handle
