im having a problem with paintshop pro and photoshop when i use try to open these s15 lights it comes out like this with greenish around the lights http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc144/mutt107/stupid.jpg
can anyone help me with this?

Erase it?

its too hard

I'd probably use the masks in PSP to get rid of it. Just put a totally invisible mask layer on it and then just use the curve tool on the mask layer (black color) to hide the green stuff.

Or just use green base color for the skin

There was another trick to get rid of that background color, it was for decals but it would work with headlights as well. Don't remember how it was done though. If you can use masks it is very easy and fast to do that way imho

Hyper - Is it this tool?

Hehe . It was almost like that. It wasn't iirc that tool that was used but in some way the background colors were set to make the selection tool to ignore the right colors (in this case the green color). Maybe that works too but I'd still use the masks. The edges with green and black may get jagged and pixellated (or something like that) with the selection tool.

Yeah, I remember a certain tool like that, but it's slipping my mind also (like most tools today in Photoshop).

il just try to erase it..

Mask works better, erase is innaccurate.

hint. magic wand.

NO! NOT THE MAGIC WAND!

Select -> Color Range.

Easy way to take all of a colour (especially in something complex like mesh) and make it vanish.

kk lol.

Or just select the light layer using wand, and go in 1 pixel. I forgot what the exact command is in photoshop.
