[Gimp-user] Changing a dark colour
Been beating my head against a wall having followed seven tutorials on the net on changing colors in an image and none of them work. I have an image of a boot footprint which originated from a grayscale image in photoshop. I have converted it to RGB. The boot print is really quite dark but I want to change it to a light green color. Every method I have tried so far has changed the color of the almost white bits but not changed the dark patches (most of the image). Can anybody help with this, thanks. -- gvernold (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

The select by colour tool should let you select the dark colour you are looking for. Then you can replace the selected region by replacing it with the foreground or background colour. I don't know if this was one of the methods you already tried though. -- o) Derek Wueppelmann (o (D . mon...@monkeynet.ca D).

Can anybody help with this, thanks. Try creating a new layer filled with the colour you want and set its layer mode to Grain Merge. -Rob A ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

There's a tool called 'Colorize' in the tools menu, and it should work fine in that case. Move the lightness and saturation sliders towards right, and then pick the hue you want, and you should get the results you are looking for. -- Branko Vukelić bg.bra...@gmail.com stu...@brankovukelic.com Check out my blog: http://www.brankovukelic.com/ Check out my portfolio: http://www.flickr.com/photos/foxbunny/ Registered Linux user #438078 (http://counter.li.org/) I hang out on identi.ca: http://identi.ca/foxbunny Gimp Brushmakers Guild http://bit.ly/gbg-group ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
