Ok, so Im following this youtube tutorial on how to re-colour a jersey.

In it, they duplicate the layer and set it to "Colour" mode. From here they use a brush to paint over what you want re colour and it changes.

My question is... how do I paint a black jumper, so it becomes white in a similar process?

Mess around with the other modes, hue and color won't work with a black background. You'll find one you like :thumbsu:

It's not perfect, but here's how i've done it in the past:

Duplicate the layer, set the duplicated layer mode to exclusion. Use your favourite selecting tool to select the black parts of the jumper you want white. I accidentally selected some of Ebert's armpit by mistake but you get the gist.

Paint over the selected guernsey area with a grey that is about 90% brightness. Play around with the brightness until you are happy. Pure white wont give you any of the folds in the guernsey.

Ctrl-J the selection and turn off your duplicated layer

Not perfect, but useable. If you were cleaner with your selection etc you'd get a better result obviously.

Something tells me a higher quality photo at a higher res would help
 
How to do stitching on Photoshop

1. Customising the brush.

- Select the paintbrush tool and hit F5 to bring up the brushes control panel
- Select "Brush Tip Shape"
- You want your diameter to be between about 3 and 6 (I know I have it as 7 in the picture)
- Change the Roundness setting to about 30% to get the brush to a ovular stitch shape
- Change the spacing to somewhere between 350% and 600% depending on what you want and the diameter of your brush.
- Click the "Shape Dynamics" box, that will make the stitches follow a line instead of all pointing in the same direction.


2. Select the pen tool and the path tool.

- Select your pen tool. If you're not really sure how to use it, learn. It's super powerful.
- Select the path tool, which differentiates a path from a shape. Basically, your path wont fill in with colour like a shape would.

3. Use the pen tool to draw the path that you want your stitches to follow.

- Pretty self explanatory. Obviously yours will follow your template and not be a big scribble.



4. Select and stroke your path.

- Select the paths tab next to your layers tab on your right sidebar
- Select your path, it should be the only one there.
- Select the colour you want your stitches to be (it doesn't matter, you can just use a colour overlay later to make them whatever you like)
- Click the "stroke path" button down the bottom where i've circled.
- Once this is done, you either need to right click now and delete your path, select a different path or shape, or move your path somewhere else to admire your handiwork



5. Voila



This is pretty simplistic. Make sure you play around with the brush to get the right size and shape etc for your template. What is right for your template will be determined by a number of factors.

If you haven't learned to use the pen tool, it's time. The pen tool is your best friend, especially when making a template.

Any questions or anything i've left out, let me know!

Legend. Thank you so much!

I can announce that when I complete my template it will go straight in the UTT for everyone to use :thumbsu:

Hey mate, I've done the same steps 3 times and my path is dotted in the preview in the brush presets panel, but when I recolour my path, it's like this:

Any tips?

Hmmm. I haven't been able to replicate what you've got there. Try opening a new layer and just drawing with your brush to make sure the brush is coming out like stitches so we can figure out whether it's the brush that's the issue or something after that

This might paint a better picture, I've kind of fixed it, but not really.

Ah, got it.

Click on the shape dynamics tab, in the angle jitter section, click the control dropdown arrow and click "direction"

I probably should have had that in the tutorial, but it was just automatically like that for mine.

That should fix your issues.
Yes! That did it!!

I'm gonna have to scrap the template I'm making ATM though, I'll finish it, but it's too small.

You'll be better for the experience.

If you do as much as you can with the pen tool, it becomes a lot easier to scale once it's time to do so because it wont matter how big or small you need it. Obviously there are things that can't be done as easily using the pen tool in photoshop, like the stitching, but use it as much as possible.
