david Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hi I'm new to paint.net. I'm trying to use the recolor tool on a bitmap image (of a form), selected primary color, secondary color (to be replaced), selected the recolor tool, left click on image and nothing happens - any suggestions? thanks David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Here's something for you to test so you can better understand this tool. Keep primary color Black & secondary color white. On a white background type some black colored texts. Select recolor tool. Right click on black colored texts. See what happens.

Kat Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Thank you, that was very helpful for me as well. I just couldn't figure out how to use this tool, though I had also read the info I get pressing F1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painterman Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 @Ash I have also a hard time figuring out what the purpose of this tool is :oops: - ie. one might as well just use a brush and then pick a new color from the palette, however, i can see that it is possible to transform the re-color tool into the color picker tool, which saves a few selections in the toolbox (read: less clicking on the mouse), so i'll guess it's just a matter of getting used to using the tool. btw, I think you made a good short explanation on how to use the tool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Techineer Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Here's something for you to test so you can better understand this tool.Keep primary color Black & secondary color white. On a white background type some black colored texts. Select recolor tool. Right click on black colored texts. See what happens. I have been fighting with the 'recolor' tool for a long time. I just found the above exercise and tried it. I doesn't work for me. No change. Left button or right button. If I hold the left button and drag it, I get a black line. The 'help' page for Recolor is worthless..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
