I would like to ask the profs, how you recolor the onemonk-minis?
I have photoshop and illustrator, but I am not sure whats the best way to recolor without changing the gadients or to select every small part of the mini with the selection tool.
Possibly you can give some hints? Is it only possibly if I do in illustrator when I have the file as vector graphics?
Many thanks for your help.

For speed, I suggest you open the colored figures in a new image file in Photoshop or similar. Change the figures to grey scale. On a layer above the figures, set the layer to multiply, and use the paint tools to color the figures. Once done, you can choose a different transparentcy type to boost the color saturation, since blending the colors in grey scale will make them all muted.
If you have no idea what I just wrote, buy a book on digital painting, and teach yourself. JIM

Any paint program that has layers and transparency effects can be used. Photoshop just happens to be the most popular overpriced bloated program used nowadays. JIM

Another method is to select a range of colors (say, every shade of red) in a specific part that you want to change. Then adjust the hue.

JIM And underline and bold the words overpriced and bold, Plus, I'm not exactly sure what language the Photoshop "help" is supposed to be, but it surely ain't English. I use PS CS2, but I understand Photoshop Elements will do most everything we do, and there's always The GIMP for free.
