    My friend challenged me if I could change the spartan color from the Image Above, and make a cool wallpaper of it before. The overall work was so successful that I decided to share this here.

    So, yeah, Probably It is a Win.

    Replace Color | Planet Photoshop

    It's super easy. You can get very detailed with it if you use masks and such, though I haven't tried it since CS4 so it has probably improved.

    Redy, the third image is superfluous. Obviously, you put stuff on a base image, which many wallpapers do, but this one just gives off that feeling as opposed to it being one solid piece.

    Sure, basically, if you will use most often Photoshop, notice that the organizing tools for different layers are very useful. Just separate the virtually elements of the senary (In this case, the flag and the Spartan IV) mainly as different objects/layers. To do it, I advise you to use the Open Lasso tool for the spartan due to the complexity of the shape, but for the flag (well straight shape) use the magnetic lasso to be well defined, and before you get it, just create a copy of them as different layers above the main Image. After these procedures you'll have the Spartan as a figure above the scenery, so if you end up making use of the command Ctrl + U correctly for those effects, you can have pretty nice results.

    P.S -I've never used Gimp, so actually, I dont know if I can definitely help you in this case.

    Edited by merge:


    Yeah, I think I understood what do you mean, probably, I really believe that if I remove the black stroke of the Spartan IV and the gradient as an effect, this kind of "paper" impression of the Spartan would be imperceptible/or go unnoticed... In any case, I believe that it was during the occasional development process, but I had the idea of separating his right arm with the Magnum as another layer, so the impression of "depth" would be increased a little bit. Good detail, thanks.

    use whatever tools you feel necessary to select the area, then use the color menu options to change it. You can also use the layer mode of color to do nearly the same thing.

    There we go, this is a way better result from the previous one.
