Learn my son, learn.

Open photo in photoshop
Select the elliptical marquee tool (press M)
Left click mouse to the top left of front wheel and drag mouse to select wheel.
Hold shift and left click again to the top left of the rear wheel and drag to select wheel
Once you see two dotted circles, copy and paste (ctrl+c, ctrl+v)

Now, go to Image, Hue/Saturation and adjust the Lightness to around -70

Bobs your auntie wink

Yeah, could be an idea "post your photoshop questions here" type thread/wiki

I forgot I did this a while back.

You omitted to include what occupation he is currently apprenticing in. "Pharmaceutical engineer" would explain it! wink
