Painter1 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Hi members, Newbie question: A coloured, shaded object has any number of individual colours. How can I make a simple colour change (swap) but retain all the shading (gradient?) properties? Thanks, Painter1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Change the hue using the "hue and saturation" adjustment OR If you only want to change one color at a time, use the "Conditional Hue/Saturation" adjustment plugin Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

rafroller Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) Ok, in fact it' s something quite easy. Just follow what I did: Let' s say I' ve got a red to blue linear gradient and I want to replace the blue part by green. 1st: select all (ctrl+A) and copy it (ctrl+C) then with the recoloring tool set at 50%, and the green you want as the primary color and the blue as the secondary color, just pass over all the image. With the magic wand tool set at 50%, click somewhere in the red part and hit delete. On a new layer :AddNewLayer: under the first one, paste (ctrl+V) what you' ve copied before. Then on the first layer, apply a blur of 200 (that' s what I did but you can do it with less) Then it' s finished. Hope I helped you.

Painter1 Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 "If you only want to change one color at a time, use the "Conditional Hue/Saturation" adjustment plugin" I downloaded "EOEffects.dll" but after relaunching Paint.net I did not see "Conditional Hue/Saturation" in any of the drop-down menus.

Painter1 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 it's in the adjustments menu (in case you hadn't found it) Always happy to help! I see the standard Hue/Saturation adjustment. No mention of Conditional settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
