To try and change the color on that KEM yellow back, I:
- Added a layer beneath the KEM back, and filled it bright yellow
- I then Rt Clik > Blending Options on the KEM back, and gave it 90% Opacity.
- This brightened it slightly without losing too much detail.
- I tried it with the yellow layer over top of the KEM back, and then gave the yellow layer a 10% Opacity.They looked pretty much the same.
This was the only way I thought of. I know there are lots of commands that I never learned. I used to know a few of those for re-touching digital photos, but its been a few years.
I will try and tweak them again, using those commands you mentioned.... actually, if you want, feel free. Here are the original resolution images. Lets see which of us can make them look the best.
The red/blue file is noticeably smaller file size. I just grabbed them from MSN Live Image Search. Now that I see them side by side, I think I should find a better quality copy of the red/blue backs.
