Recolor Anything on Gimp

Too many times we have taken a picture and not like a dress color, or a tree is yellowing and taking away the effect of the picture. There is an easy way to recolor everything on GIMP!

Steps

1. First, open GIMP.
2. Select File, open, and select your image. I have used an eye for my demonstration.
3. Select the lasso, or the Free Select Tool.
4. Outline what you wish to change the color of in your image. When your finish and connect the line, you will find a pattern outlining it looking very much like marching ants.
5. Select Layers, then, New Layer.
6. Select Bucket Fill, the choose your color.
7. Fill what you have selected with that color.
8. It should look very unrealistic. Go to the 'Layers' tab. (Not the one you have used before, there are two!)
9. Where it says 'Mode: Normal', Click it and it should have a drop-down menu.
10. Select Overlay.
11. Now, on the Select tab, click 'Select None'
12. Now is the time to edit your color, if you don't like it! You do not need to repeat all of the steps, just refill the layer with a different color.
13. If you are positive you like what you are seeing, Go back to layers and Select 'Merge down'.
14. Now, you are finished!
