Photography editing

Does anyone know of a photo editing program that lets you change the color of clothing without destroying the natural folds of the clothing?

I just saw ULEAD's PhotoImpact 6 on sale at Staples for $49.99. You'd be amazed what it can do for the price. I love it. All you have to do is 'select' the clothing, using the Lasso with 'snap to edges', then apply whatever effect you want, e.g. colorize.

Sure! Photshop will do that. Use the various "selecting" tools to highlight the area you want to change, then go to IMAGE -- ADJUST -- HUE SATURATION. Once it opens the HUE SATURATION box click COLORIZE. You will be startled as it drops in a deep color. Just drag down the SATURATION until it looks normal, then slide the HUE back and forth until the correct color appears.

My advice is to adjust it until it looks right then drop the SATURATION a little more. When your eyes are looking at colors changing, you tend to not notice how deep they are. Like picking paint for your bedroom, it's always best to go a shade lighter than your perfect choice.

Many will work, my favorite is JASC Paint Shop Pro. You can download from their server (www.jasc.com), or purchase at many computer retailers. Simplicity of use with powerful tool are what makes it my choice. Not quite what PhotoShop is, but one heck of a lot cheaper and for a hack like me it does plenty.

I use MGI Photosuite III and Microsoft Picture Publishing Platinum. They are both very inexpensive programs and are easy to use. I have some sample of the work I have done on my Dune community page.
