Hello. This is my first post on this forum, although I've been using Paint.NET for a few years now. I sometimes (many times) have doubts, but I get answers pretty quickly by searching the forum or google. I've been searching for this particular doubt for a while, and I did search in many places with different keywords - however, I'm not a native english speaker, so I might be missing out something real simple.
I'll try to explain what I want to achieve in a few different manners, in hope I'm clear enough to get an answer, although I'm not sure if what I want is possible.
1st attempt:
Imagine that you have two colors, red and black, and you want to mix 10 drops of red with 3 drops of black. You get a specific color - a weird dark red. Now imagine I have a image with only that solid color and I want to replace those 3 drops of black with three drops of white. How can I do that?
2nd attempt:
Normal A4 sheets are white, but I want to print a image (with no white or light colors) on a black sheet of paper. I don't need to use a black cartridge, because the black is already there in the paper sheet. How can I remove the "black tones" in order to get proper colors when printing?
All this to answer one bottom question, which is also my 3rd attempt on this:
3rd attempt:
I have access to a modified printer that has white ink on the black ink cartridge; that way, If I write a few words in black and print them out on a black sheet of paper, I'll have a white text. This is very simple if I want only to print text; set font color to black and print, ending with a white text printout. But what if I have a photograph, for example, and I want to print it on a black sheet? If I have a white boat, for example, its' color has to be changed to black. If I want to print a light green, I have to have a dark green on my image. Is there any way to do this?
I hope I've been clear enough, I've really looked everywhere for an answer, but I haven't come to it. I don't think it is a common question, but I hope someone here knows how to this. If there is anything I've missed, or any additional info any of you need, just let me know and I'll try to add that as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance.
