You could play around with Adjustment layers - hue/saturation/contrast/exposure. on top of that seperate layers with brush strokes in the colour you want , set to 'color' blend.

Really struggling with that pic, nikerun... I don't think it's ever going to have the same color as the front images because the original photo isn't that great in quality or color, plus I have 6 more seasons of this show to do, so I'm not going to spend all my time trying to perfectly match the color.

If you want to take a crack at it, I'll send you the original image. But I'm through wasting time on it... :( :( :(

I just grabbed the original image myself to give it a go and see what I can do for a fix. But it doesn't look as desaturated as the one on your cover. :chin: Did you grab the one named '5759_1_8' ?

Yeah, that's the one, Dagon. Like I said in an earlier post, I did run a lot of filters on it, so the one on my cover is much more desaturated than the original file. Thanks for helping, I'm still messing with it but it's not going so swell... :(

Here's my second attempt... seeing them side-by-side, it doesn't look like that much of a difference, but I guess it will have to do (unless someone else can do better?).

Crawling towards the finish line on this one... changed the font on the front and spine to Kruella, added robot Moloch and the Anointed One to the back collage, still need to add something to the left of these new additions...

Thoughts?

Wow why haven't I seen this before, this is really a lush looking set, bloody brilliant, kind of reminds me of the old Indy Jones posters :)

Really nice Andrew :) well done

Edit: Oh just read through the thread, the Indy Jones/Harry Potter design is what you where going for :) Oh well glad I saw the resemblance :)
