Can you change this chopper to purple & gold?

This was harder than it looked because all the blues on the chopper were so similar and the contrast wasn't so hot - especially compared to the background....

Very nice job fellas.

Anyone care to tell me how to change colors so well? I've tried quick mask and fill but really none captures the detail well enough.

ummm...I do mine several different ways depending on the picture and what color(s) I want. Here is something real simple to start with. Image > adjustments > desaturate, then go to image > adjustments > variations

Not good to use Fill cuz then you get a flat color, losing all the details. Better to use Image->Adjustments->Hue/Saturation->select Colorize->then play with the sliders until you get the colors you want.

I usually usually use the Magic Wand to select the area and then use the steps above but; like Orphan said, there are several different ways to go about changing colors and doing other tasks, too. Next time, I'm going to check out his method of desaturation .

I sometimes use fill to get that hard to get color(s). Then you overlay it, lower opacity, etc. In my second pic there is a fill of LSU (rgb)gold under the top gold layer. See how it's not so greeny. The top layer (on the second pic)is overlayed keeping most of the details. You WILL lose some details. Just mess around with the different tools and settings. Then you can an idea of what each can do.

more of a LSU gold

You guys are ridiculous.

Thank you so much!

Those are some damn strong choppers.
