lol dude, im not sure where u got the terms photo-cloning/swap switching...etc.., mayb thas what ppl call it, i find the best way to change the color of anything short of using a million tools and doin it slowly and in portions, like say when u photoshop a person to add make up, remove skin discoloration etc... is to 'colorize' the section u want to change color...

so, to start with, once u bring an image into photoshop, in the layers bar to the right you should see the image as a single layer, and it should have a little 'lock' symbol next to it.

double click this symbol and click 'ok' on the box that pops up, (this allows you to edit the layer)

now u need to learn how to use the pen tool(if you dont know how already), its not too hard and will be ur best friend, seriously, once u know how to use the pen tool, use it to outline the section of the image that you want colored,

(to use the pen tool for those who dont know, just click down the mouse for the first point along the outside of the image your outlining, the click at another point along the outside and whilst holding the mouse down, drag out one of the little bezier handles to make the line curve (if it needs to be curved) else dont drag the line and move onto the next point, after you have curved the line, hold the 'alt' key and click on the point on the line that you just created.

this prevents the line going all wonky when u go to create your next point.

continue placing points and curving the line where necessary and the 'alt' clicking on the point after curving the line until you join your line back at the beginning

)

ok, so once you have your outline, right click in the centre of the shape you just created and choose 'make selection' from the pop out menu.

now hold down 'ctrl' and press the letter 'u'

this will bring up the colorize filter menu

once here click on the check box in the bottom right corner of the window labelled 'colorize'

now move the sliders left and right, the top is for the 'hue' (the color), the middle is for the 'saturation' (the amount of color put onto the image) and the bottom is the 'lightness' (how light or dark the selection is)

so play with these sliders until you get the color you want, and click ok, and hey presto, a nicely colored car...

hope this helps...

if i get the chance, ill play wit those pics a lil for ya too...
