Is this easy to do?

So I was wondering if it was easy to change the color of a spine on a custom vertical n64 cover. The covers on the site have green spines and I have every cover I need saved in my computer so I can improve it if necessary (I haven't printed any out yet). I use paint and GIMP and I am not an expert in either.

Basically, I want to change the color of the custom vertical n64 covers to blue, rather than green. I do not want to change the color of the logo on the spine, just the green portion. Can anyone tell me if this is a possibility, and if so, how to do it using paint or GIMP?

Thanks guys

I'm not sure if it can be done in GIMP, it can in Photoshop, but a gradient map, or change the hue to blue, you will have to cut out the logo, probably easy with a magic wand tool, or whatever is the GIMP equivalent.

Thanks for the advice, I toyed around with the hue after I selected the spine and figured out how to do it using GIMP.

Good.
Post your results when you got it done.  ;)

Well, I would love to post the covers, but I'm not really sure how to do that. I have them saved in GIMP and I don't know how to put them into a blog entry here. Sorry, I'm still pretty new to this stuff.

They look great with the blue spines though, I'm very Happy with how they turned out!
