So, this is a problem with a lot of darker parts on sprites (dark hair, etc.), but if you want to make her hoodie way brighter like Kazuichi’s greenish yellowish jumper you have to use a layer mode first. Stay on the layer mask, choose the brush and make sure the color you’re using is white, then start coloring in the parts you want to affect.Ĩ. After all, we don’t want it to affect everything we don’t want to have in pink, I only want the hair, eyes, bow and the stripes on her hoodie to be pink. As one sees, the pinkish color is gone now. After that is done, click on the layer mask and make it entirely black.Ħ. Don’t go too bright with brightness though since it affects the lineart too and would turn it too grey.ĥ. With that I then slide “Hue” over to the pink section and adjust the Saturation and Brightness according to that to try and match the color samples (sorry, I deleted them here). That makes the little arrow pointing downwards on the Hue/Saturation layer appear, that guarantees the colors to not go outside of her sprite (preventing it from affecting anything else underneath the Chiaki layer, but that isn’t all that important in this case since I placed her layer group underneath Kazuichi’s).

Also, make sure that you click on the line in between the Hue/Saturation layer and the sprite layer while pressing “alt” on the keyboard. I make a Hue/Saturation layer (making one immediately comes with a layer mask, that is important too) and tick off the “Colorize” box.Ĥ. The hair is incredibly easy to work with if it isn’t too pale (like Nagito’s or Sonia’s) or too dark (like Nekomaru’s or part of Ibuki’s), so Chiaki’s hair is perfect for that. I won’t repeat this in the other steps since it seems fairly obvious, but when you want to get the color vaguely right, grab the color from the other sprite with the eyedropper tool, create a new layer and with a brush just make a large dot or something to compare the colors. I created two layer groups and put each sprite in one so that I can keep everything tidy. From here on I will focus on Chiaki since she was fairly simple to do. I then put them next to each other in PS, but I had to set the color mode from “Indexed Colors” to “RGB Colors” first since well, the colors were indexed and you can’t work with that.Ģ.

I get all of them from the Danganronpa Wiki, should be obvious to everyone but just go to the character’s page and click on the Sprite Gallery.
#DANGANRONPA PALETTE SWAP DOWNLOAD#
Very obvious first step: Download (don’t copy&paste because it’ll ruin the quality) the sprites that you want to use. I use PS as the abbreviation of you want me to clarify anything please ask me to do so!ġ. I’m not sure about other programs, but to do it the way I’ve done it the program should have Blending Modes for layers (for example multiply) and it should have options like Hue/Saturation and Color Balance (those are just examples) that can be put on individual layers. I used Photoshop CS4 to do everything, any Photoshop above that should be okay too. Alright, I honestly am not the best person at explaining stuff due to my phrasing being absolutely terrible. Anyway, under the read more is an explanation on how I did a few of the color palette swaps from my post earlier.
