about colors & hexcodes
In Paint Shop Pro, is there a way to color an image relatively??
For example, let's say I have an image that is all of two pixels (for simplicity's sake). The pixel on the right is brown (#6A3700 or R-106,G-55,B-0), and the one on the left is a lighter shade of brown (#815315 or R-129,G-83,B-21).
O.K., now I want to change the 2pix wide image to red. Not one solid color, but with the left pixel to be as many shades of a lighter red than the light brown is to the dark brown.
If I were to do it manually, I would think that you would subtract each red, green, or blue value from it's corresponding r, g, and b number. Or, in the above example, it would be a difference of 23, 28, 21 (#171C15).
Does anyone ever work with this sort of thing?? If PSP can't handle it, is there any software on the web to keep me from doing it all manually??

Not sure about PSP, but those are the terms that you can search for. You can colourize, drop to greyscale and then colourize, do a selective replace, play with the tone/level/hue shifters, et cetera.
hth a little,

Thanks. I finally found the right tolerence setting on the magic wand. Since the text is brown and the background is tan, the text is feathered into the background, making it a little tricky to select. After a little trial & error, I got it, though.
Thanks again,
Steve

Found a better way, editing an empty mask (50%red). Splitting the channels dosen't help much, cause of the brown/tan blend. It will take some manual dithering practice, but it'll work.
