Silver and coper - hendrikbez - 02-12-2022
What is the best way to make a coin silver or coper?
RE: Silver and coper - rich2005 - 02-12-2022
You will probably have to re-make your coin in a grey format, suitable for bump-mapping. Bump mapping required to give some light and shadow and depth.
Then it is into the colour curves and you might get a metallic effect. It is not always easy. Copper a little easier, you can colorize the grey layer.
For what it is worth, a short 3 minute example: https://youtu.be/GcoPVTjRM5E

A link how to make gold : https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/87247/creating-a-realistic-gold-surface-in-gimp
Use gimp / Colours / Hue-Saturation to change the gold color
- to copper : use the hue slider
- to silver : use the hue slider to get purple, the saturation slider to get less colour, the lightness slider to optimise
