How to modify the color of a shipset?
 

Is there an easy way to take the pictures from an existing shipset and edit them so that only the color is different? What I'd like to do is this: I like the standard Cryslonite shipset but I don't like the pinkish color. Is there some way to edit each of the pictures in a paint program, so that instead of pinkish, they are green or blue?

I experimented a bit with changing the hue/saturation, brightness etc but don't get good results. When I do somehow get the color to change to green, the black background also becomes greenish so that's not good. I'd appreciate advice on this. Thanks!

You can use PSP
You can use Photoshop

I guess I just needed to use the right program. It worked when I opened the pictures with Pixia and used the Color Balance command to increase the green component by 25%. It wasn't as easy trying to do this with ImageForge.

Yes of course it can be done. Need proof? Check out Atrocities Crugarian shipset and then take a look at my Spelunkers shipset in my Miner's Guild mod. See any difference?

Oh, And I used ArtGem to color and paint the spelunkers.

I used a shareware 30 day trial program called eyebatch to turn the vikings into the valkyries.
