Well, I figured out how to change the color of the car - I inverted the "a" curve in Lab mode.  I haven't figured out how to keep the grass green - yet.  Unless it is done through the use of multiple layers.  Is that the answer, or is the answer limited to the use of Curvemeister?  I'll keep working on this one.

This can be done in 30 seconds with Curvemeister....

and the grass stays green...Start at the beginning and use LAB, Right click on the A curve and choose Pin Curve...
Let me know if you need more of a hint...
It can be done with layers but only if you worry about the tail lights and the sidewalls of the tires...some reflections can be fixed as well...

I don't think I can explain exactly how I did this, but I saved a screen shot of the curve into a Word Doc.  The doc file is around 725k.  How do I save the screen shot as a graphic file that I can upload?

You got it....
What other colors can you make this car???

I have seem Pink and purple...someone even made it plaid once...

You can open the screen shot in photoshop and "save for web"  then you can set the pixel dimentions and the quality depth to keep the image at 200k.

I usually save to the desktop and then edit in PS..but thats just me...I use a product called Gadwin Print Screen 4.1 it's freeware...

Works Great with a pretty good option set...
