Maybe it's not going to look as good as I thought after all. As for my XD... I don't have any pictures yet. I know, I've had it for a week and still haven't taken any.
Strange, I have a Walther P22 in the same color configuration (they call it blaugrau "bluegray" and it looks really mean. I guess it depends on the gun.
Thanks everyone for getting on this so quick. I thought it would look mean (like I said earlier) on the XD... but it might be too bright. maybe if it were darker. I appreciate all of your help guys.
Wow, you guys can work some magic with those programs. I can crop, do a lens flare, and do auto level colors which usually ends up making stuff look crappier. I wish I could do what you guys can.
No.. I mean yes, I can do it, but it almost comes down to a pixel by pixel change.. and I have to make dinner tonight.. it's my day off and If I don't make dinner, I am going to get into trouble.
In PSP (Paint Shop Pro) The "retouch tool" (Looks like a hand on your tool bar) Click the "Color to Target" tab and you will be able to click on a color that is close to what you want. You can't pick the exact color, or even shade, because the "retouch tool" seeks only to change the color while maintaining all the textures in the original image. So darkening it is not possible without going into it on a pixel level.. sorry..
Some of the photo-editing guru's around here may know different.. but that is as much as I know.
But.. just for fun.. here is one that I made that I think every board member should own..
Hey, where can i get one of those??? does it have blue tooth? That way i can shoot the bg and be on the phone wit the 911 operator tellin her i shot him. lol.
Here's a few more shades that are darker. I borrowed Captain Ray's pic, hope he doesn't mind. He did all the hard work, just took me about 5 mins to change the color in photoshop
Could someone do a pic of Duracoats German Light Green on the slide and controls and leave the black frame? Im thinking about this combo and was wondering how it would look.
Da' Funk
That last one was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Speed.
I like the look, but dont want to look to femanine at the range. What do you guys think?
Looks like a toy IMO and femine looking. But, if that is the look you are shooting for, go for it. :wink:
I want the one with the cell phone in the grip myself. It would be so convenient. Just have to be careful when putting it up to the ear to hear so you point it in the right direction. :shock:
