Who here is good at Adobe Photoshop

[IBhacknU]

I have a .bmp file, white background and the logo in Black. I want to make everything black, a blue color.

Is there an easy way to do this?

 

[64bitloopy]

yes.

 

[Imported]

You could highlight the black and then change it to blue. I use Paint Shop Pro and Fireworks mostly, but that's one way.

 

[ltk007]

Its really pretty easy, there are probably a lot of ways to dod it, but I'd have to see the pic itself to decide what I'd do.

 

[ArMs]

I don't remember how to do it, but you can change all of one color to a different one, look under the Image menu.

 

[konichiwa]

Post the file and we'll all edit it and you can pick the best one. That's a cool idea.

 

[64bitloopy]

great idea... I'm game.

 

[IBhacknU]

I'm trying to just select the black... but I'm not sure what tool to use.

 

[konichiwa]

Come on, post it!!! You can still work on it but you can get the experts like M00t and semi-experts (like me ) to see what we can do. It'll be cool.

You should have some sort of color selector, though I use Corel PhotoPaint so I don't know what it's called. You should be able to choose the tolerance, & I'd select the background & then invert the selection. Give me a couple minutes to install CorelDraw, & then I'll take a shot at it...

OK...

it should be here

or a JPEG here

me thinks I may need a better quality image. I'm not sure where this one came from, but a higher resolution one might be in order.

Oh yea... I'm looking to do this in a Navy or dark blue. And I really don't need the text part... just the lion

 

[64bitloopy]

so you want everything black, blue, huh?
What exactly do you want?

 

[Killbat]

Use the magic wand tool. Set tolerance for 32 and non-contiguous. Click on a black spot. BOOYAH. A selection in the shape of the logo, you can do anything.

 

[markjrubin]

done

 

[markjrubin]

In order.....

1. Open File
2. Image->Mode->RGB Color
3. Double Click on the layers pallette on the word background. This should bring up a dialogue to name your layer. Just hit enter.
4. Select the Magic Wand tool (w)
5. Click the magic wand on the capital T in "The Ritz Carlton." This should select the T.

are you with me yet?

 

[IBhacknU]

DOH!

Thanks Killbat and MarkjRubin...

that's just the direction I was looking for. Photoshop is new to me, but I'l be dammed if I'm not gonna do my best to learn it.

If you want me to see your work, you can send it here

 

[konichiwa]

Here you go...took me about a minute, so it's not as clean as it could be but tell me if this is what you're looking for:

Ritz

 

[markjrubin]

6. Select->Similar This should select all the black
7. Pick your color and make it the one on top of the two colors
8. Edit->Fill Make sure Foreground Color is what you're using.
9. Image->Mode->Indexed Color. This will bring up some boxes asking if you want to flatten the layer. Yes you do. Then hit ok till you're done.
10. File->Save A Copy This brings up a save dialogue. Call it something else and make sure you save it as a bmp.
11. You're done.

The whole thing should take you less than a minute.

 

[Viper GTS]

Bah, forget it then. Even with a 72X CD-ROM it takes too friggin' long to do a full install of CorelDraw.

I lose.

[IBhacknU]

Yes Konichiwa... more or less. The background is going to be white though.

I'm almost done, and I'll show you what I did.

And thanks again for all the step by step Mark

Viper... don't install that on my behalf

In BLUE

 

[purplehayes]

Try this one Blue Ritz

 

[ltk007]

My attempt

The text wasn't easy, but I tried

 

[Adul]

Man those files are big, you guys need to optimize some.

 

[ltk007]

No, I've got cable you should too

 

[DesignDawg]
