Changing a black shader to white?

Woof

Hiya all, brand new user trying to learn DAZ Studio here, so sorry for incorrect forum placement, lack of knowledge, etc.

I'm essentially trying to make a open white leather jacket on a model (Genesis 8) using a jacket I purchased... it doesn't have color shaders unfortunately (and in fact I can't find anything even close that DOES have a white shader...) so I was attempting to see if I could edit it somehow to make the current shaders white without completely retexturing it and losing the original texture's definition (stitching, etc.).  Is that a thing that can be done?  Thanks in advance.

I did try using an alternate leather shader but as I mentioned that causes some of the stitching/details on the original texture to be lost, unfortunately.  Was just trying to see if there was a way to avoid that.

You could create a geoshell, and then apply  the stiching to that.

That requires that you have a black-white image for which parts of the geoshell that shal be visible.
