From YourSITE.com *Program Basic METHOD TWO: Changing Colors of Papers and Elements: Changing a specific color. By and © Shelleyrae Cusbert
There are several ways in which you can change the colors of papers and elements in DIP. Largely it depends on the type of change you want to make and the original colors of the piece. Re-coloring is generally permitted by most designers but you may wish to check the TOU of the elements before doing so.
The simplest way of adjusting color in a paper or element is using Effects> Change Hue... This method is perfect for quick color changes where you do not have a particular shade or color palette you need to match. You can read about this method here Digital Image Pro:PROGRAM BASIC: METHOD ONE: Changing Colors of Papers and Elements: Using Hue and Saturation Grayscale and metal objects also require a specific technique. Refer to Digital Image Pro: PROGRAM BASIC: METHOD THREE: Changing Colors of Papers and Elements: Changing a Grayscale or metal object
This method describes how to make a change to one specific color in a paper or element.
Open the paper to your canvas or project. 
Choose the Magic Wand tool To select a color wherever it is repeated in the image, ensure you have Contiguous unchecked and then click on the selected color you wish to change – in this case the yellow circles. You may need to adjust the tolerance level to ensure the areas you wish to include are selected – especially if the paper is textured or the color you are selecting is near similar colors. Begin at a tolerance level of 0 and increase it in small increments if necessary. 
The marching ants show you the areas selected. Choose either Effects> Change Hue to adjust the color of the selected areas and preserve any texture. 
OR Choose Effects> Fill with texture or color and make your choice from the palette. 
OR More Solid Color Choices to match another part of the project – here I have clicked on a ribbon with the eyedropper to match the color. You will need to have the item containing the color you wish to match open on your canvas. 
Click Done and then the object tool © Copyright 2003-2005 by Scrapbook-Bytes; & original creator/s of tutorials/articles |
to apply your changes.
