That sounds like a pretty simple application of the levels tool, am I missing something?
I am not exactly sure what you mean ^^ But I find it difficult to change a texture with for example a red colour sheme to a brown colour sheme.

Try Colour > Hue-Saturation (I think that's it, I haven't used Photoshop in a while) then lower saturation by 50 and raise hue by 20.

Is that the kind of thing you mean?

That's how I do it in Photoshop, be nice to have a way to do it in daz itself though, selecting just the hair is a pain in a rendered image.

Sadly, I have to agree, I don't know how hair works like that.
Well or I just don't know it. Maybe Daz has actually funcions for this. I wouldn't wonder about that, they would just be difficult to handle I guess.

I'm not familiar with Daz, can you not change the model's textures before rendering? I thought that was what we were talking about. I can't imagine trying to do those kind of adjustments after rendering.

You can for most things, but for hair, not so much. For skin, clothing, etc. most of it is nice and easy, but some of them have the colors baked in, so the only way to change it is to adjust the surfaces in daz, which is ...iffy at best.

But trying to put a sticker on these headphones is proving to be difficult.

Yeah some of the textures you to change in another software like in Photoshop. But adding completely new textures is really difficult.

And for the hair, some use textures, some not.

I am getting a bit better at the 'making new ones' when I have a template for it, but it is still challenging, especially if you need to make a 'normal' map and shit.

I find it extremely difficult to place totally new ones in Daz, so that they are placed correctly.

Yeah, it's a challenge, even when you made the mesh yourself, you should see some of the fuckups I had trying to make that bug spray can! XD

Well at least you made something in Blender already ^^ I kind of want to learn zbrush at some point.

I think at this point I'm going to conclude that Daz is weird and I won't understand it unless I try it. None of the things I've ever retextured were anything like as strange as it sounds.
