Hikage101 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I was trying to recolor an image using the appropriate tool. I followed the instructions on getpaint.net, but when I used the tool, it gave me the inverted version of the color I wanted. I uninstalled and reinstalled twice. I searched for similar issues and found none. I even went so far as to paint the color I wanted, invert the photo colors, use the picker tool, and set the inverted color as my secondary. It turned out the actual color I wanted. What's going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Are you sure you have it the right way around? To use the Recolor tool, you need to set the Primary color to the new color. Set the Secondary color to the color that will be replaced.It even says this in the Status bar when the Recolor Tool is active: "Left click to replace the secondary color with the primary color." <Moved to Paint.NET Discussion & Questions> Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Also, could it have to do with the layer you're working on having a blending mode set? Some blending modes can give interesting results.
