qwertyjjj Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I have an image, which has white text with surrounding grey. I need to make the text blue. The wand tool does not select every single bit of the letters so any other ways to make it blue? People have talked about plugins and stuff but they do not seem to be in my version of paint 3.36. Example of logo (it's the text on the bottom) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Search for the recolor tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertyjjj Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Search for the recolor tool. Te recolor tool doesn't work because I can't select all of the letter. It has particular problems with any letters with o in the middle like p, o, Q, etc. but isn't picking all of curved letters either. Try it on the image above, you'lls ee it doesn't pick up the pixels correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I don't think he meant to magic wand select the letters. I think he meant to create a rectangular selection around the text and to use the recolor tool switching the white to blue. I tried it, and since the text is anti-aliased, I found it impossible to get the right tolerance to change the white to blue. What I'd do, is to clone stamp the bottom all gray over the text, and then create new blue text on a separate layer. like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curmudgeon Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 The font is too small to be of any use for whatthefont.com's font search... When I zoomed in on it, it looked very close to Trebuchet MS, so that's what I chose...very small though...I used font size 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
