When I use Colors - Hue-Saturation, I can get the desired color I want, but the text ends up looking grey because I need to bring down the lightness slider to achieve the color I want. Is there a better way to accomplish the task I need without affecting the white? - make sure you have an alpha channel - use Colors/Color to alpha to make the white completely transparent - insert a white layer below: you now have the same icon but split on two layers - select the layer with the remaining blue icon - at top of the layer list, check the alpha-lock box:painting on the layer will not change the transparency of the pixels. - paint that layer in any color you wish (you can even bucket-fill the whole layer) It's really simpler than it looks, and the result will be about perfect. See http://gimpforums.com/thread-proper-subject-extraction-background-removal-and-background-painting for an explanation of the magic. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

First, best is to keep the text as a text layer if it's not too late, and to work on the blue layer separately. Second, colours-map has rotate colours, and that combined with using curves to make the image darger without moving the white point, is pretty easy and doesn't involve making new layers.
