There are different ways to get a result depending on the original .psd image. Since you say it is black and white, When you open in Gimp ***check that the color mode is RGB*** and change if necessary. Image menu -> Mode -> RGB You might have something like this: http://imgur.com/MPwO1ie If it is black on white, then add a layer on top and fill it with the new colour. Now set the Layer Mode to Screen. looks like this: http://imgur.com/rCnSJ3D If the diagram is black on transparent then enable the ***alpha lock*** for that layer and fill the layer with the new colour. looks like this: http://imgur.com/VrbA8NR PS text layers imported into Gimp are 'rasterized' (no longer editable text) treat these the same as previous, set the alpha lock, bucket fill. example: http://imgur.com/jH797l5 rich: www.gimp-forum.net -- rich2005 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
