Hi folks, I did some hunting around the forums but am not fining what I'm looking for via search or in the tutorials. Simply put, I have a theme (skin) for an on-line forum and I'd like to change the color of it. There are images attached to this theme, and I need to modify them. I'm looking for the quickest and simplest way to take these images, tell PDN what new color I'd like as the base, and have it apply that to the image without losing gradients and other shading. Thoughts? Thanks for any help! AL

Hey, thanks! Kind of a round-about way to my solution, but it'll do. Thanks!

Hi there. I've been messing with this and searching for quite some time on how to do what I'm trying to accomplish, but haven't been having much luck. I'm hoping someone can help me out here. Essentially, I have a GIF image I've converted to PNG so I can use the varying levels of Alpha available. I'm trying to turn the white areas into transparent colors, but am having issues. I can certainly do the wand/delete option, but the problem lies in that some of the areas are variations of white...and they need to be converted into varying levels of transparency. Here is a sample image: After wand/delete, it looks like this: Obviously, this isn't the desired result. So, I have tried using the fill tool with varying levels of tolerance, but that provides similar results...but to different portions of the image (not the desired result). I have also tried using the recolor tool, but it doesn't seem to want to replace with a transparent color at all...just dumps the same Alpha 255 color in place. So, is there a way to have it turn various shades of white into various shades of transparency? The only other option I can think of is to cut out everything but the top portion of the image and then create my own mirror of it below...but that's actually above my skill level so far. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
