Hello, i downloaded a PBR from the internet. but i want to change the color. in the description of the product it's said it can be done by adding a mask in the composite layers. idk how to do this, and i can rely on GIMP only, as i don't own photoshop. and paint.net doesn't do the trick. so is it possible to do this in GIMP, if yes how? here's the exact descriiption of the pbr so you have a better idea
Material of old painted boards. The color is green by default, it can be changed in Composite Layers using a mask (disabled by default and also not available in FBX)
Thank you

Operating system(s):
Gimp version: 2.10
That looks very like ChatGPT to me. Please only post what you know and have user experience.
Gimp 2.10 can of course open a .exr image I have a sample file but nothing for Physical Based Rendering (PBR)
Regardless of ChatGPT, Gimp is probably not the tool for this.

But you mentioned 3 types of files. Which one are you having problems with?
You are correct Rich, I do not have the expertise which is why I provided links

@jpaul
This is not a job for Gimp. It says on the website as you referenced in your first post.
Material of old painted boards. The color is green by default, it can be changed in Composite Layers using a mask (disabled by default and also not available in FBX).
Remember Gimp is 2D editing, if the image is a bitmap and on the long-shot you can open your file in Gimp, you can change the colour in several ways but probably no use to you.
Bottom line, can you open the file ?

no i mentioned only one file the exr. i was talking of the variations i'd like to achieve
yes i could open the exr in GIMP, but once opened idk what to do with it
this is driving me nut why painted wood pbr are so hard to find. they're rarer than gold
i can eventually send the exr to one of you if you'd like to give it a try. but i can't post it here for obvious reasons

just to be sure. i don't want to change the color of the whole image, but only the painted parts. changing the color of a texture is extremelly easy to do in Unreal engine, which i'm working with. but it'll colorize all the texture. this is not what i want. i want the texture parts where the paint has decayed to stay eutral/untouched. this is where the whole thing is. thanks however to all the efforts put in trying to help me. i've contacted the author at turbosquid via the support, and asked him/her how he/she achieve the thing. they transmitted my request. we'll see the answer. or maybe i should make the mask myself by hand. sounds trick, but not impossible. we'll see.. i'll tell you
