How can I change a specific color in an image to another color?

For example, in the mobilism banner, how can I change everything that is black to yellow? (It's just an example, it's probably horrible.)

Can it be done with paint.net?

Thanks.

Since the mobilism banner we have is a 'flat' (and probably resized) image, pixels on the edges of shapes and colors are blended. So when we fill the black area with yellow using the paint bucket, it will look something like this.

Like crap.

(The GIMP and Photoshop do have a 'Select by color' option, it won't help much.)

There are other better ways ..

Go to: Adjustments » Levels...

(Disable the Blue and drag the right slider - Output all the way up)

Hmm, now the blue letters turned to white as it will change all colors at the same time. How unfortunate ..

Well, take a look in the Adjustments menu, and play around a bit with Hue / Saturation... and Levels...


But the very best way would be to pm the creator and ask him for the original (layered) image.

wow. great and easy tutorials!!!

can someone please, explain "how can I write text on a GIF (moving) image?" (for example my avi has nerdybook on it + cartoon character moving - Templeton created it)

P.S. I already have Paint.NET installed.

✩ Download the image of the egg to your computer.

✩ Now, in layer 2, we can paint or paste (keep canvas size while pasting) anything we like .. (but try to remember the egg shape )

✩ When we're done in layer "Layer 2", go back to layer "Background" and choose the tool : Magic Wand!

✩ In layer "Background", with the magic wand click anywhere outside the egg (top left/top right ..)



(Everything outside the egg will be selected)

✩ Go back to layer "Layer 2", and press Ctrl-X (or Delete).

✩ Disable layer "Background" .. (or delete it) since we have no need for it anymore.



✩ Now go to File » Save As... And save the file as a .PNG


- Bit depth = Autodetect and FLATTEN!

✩ Upload your egg to an imagehost.


Code: Select allhttp://imgur.com/
