Hello everyone

Here's a very simple question; what would be the best way to tint a wood texture with different colors? I assume I should be using a mix material, but I struggle finding a mix that fully respects the wood texture..

Thanks in advance

Have you tried the gradient node?

face

I've tried, with no luck. I'm looking more into a color layer over a grayscale texture, in multiply mode..(photoshop like)

This would be my approach...

That's what I did at the beginning, to later realize I am loosing half the information on the texture, which gets substituted by a plain color. Am I right?

switch mix to multiply?

I use color correction

Thanks a lot for all your responses!! This is exactly what I was looking for! hope it helps others as well

There is a simpler solution : just change the Power slider of the texture to RGB Color : you get 3 sliders and can adjust the tint of the image. As it is a substractive method, just play with Gamma if the resulting image is a bit dark.
