Well fisrt of youll need to open Adobe Photoshop 6+, i preffer to use CS/CS2 (8/9)
youll also need a copy of the converter (i have attached this to my post),
Now open the converter and using the right hand file/folder slecetor go to the very top by clicking the folder icon with ... until you go no ferther then go
<b>Program Files => Bethesda Softworks => Pirates of the Carribean =>RESOUCE => Textures => CHARACTERS</b>
Then youll get a list of all the character files find '<b>Blaze.tga.tx</b>' and double click on it , Then in the left file/folder selector use the ... folder and go all the way to the top and then go
<b>Documents And Settings => 'YOU' => Desktop</b>
WOW,

2. <b>Now colour changing</b>
I think we'll start on the jacket.
at the file menu go across to Layer => New Ajustment Layer => Colour Balance.
and set the shadows and midtones and highlight to your liking so blazes jakcet looks right
DONT WORRY ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE CHANGING COLOUR.

using the Polygon Lasso tool select all of Blazes JAcket hold Shift to add more that one selection. the press m and right click inside the slection and click Invert and then Backspace.

Whay. Your Done you can repeat these steps on all manner of things eyes hair ect <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
3. <b>Converting Back</b>.
Now Save Blaze As a TGA file and then double click him from the left hand converter menu (he should be saved to your desktop) then click convert. Leave at the defual settings and when it asks do you want to overwrite click yes.
Done Go off and play POTC!!!
