 sketch as a paste in a new layer, selecting all and trying the color
 exchange, but no go.  If I send you the file, could you check on your
 computer and see if it works for you?
Sure.

But before that, by didn't work, do you mean the operation wasn't
allowed (the menu option was greyed out) or the operation failed to do
what you wanted?

If the menu option was greyed out, it is because your scanner's png is
in 'indexed' mode. Follow
Right Click-Image-Mode-RGB to switch the image type to RGB and retry
the operation. If it still doesn't work, e-mail it to me (off list), and
I'll take a look.

Can you use the color picker for this?

Re: [Gimp-user] convert black to blue for sketch question

2006-01-15 Thread Tom
I have changed Black  White images to Blue  White by using:
Tools-Color Tools-Color Balance
and then increasing Blue and, if necessary, decreasing red (increasing cyan).
I would then optionally use Tools-Color Tools-Brightness-Contrast and
adjust brightness.

 on Gimp that lets me do that?
 Thanks,
 Tom

Thanks to everyone!  I really appreciate all the help.  Harish even went 
so far as to offer to have me send the file.  You folks are terrific!

That is a fairly common operation. What you want is a colour map.
Right click-Filters-Colors-Map-Color Exchange

Then select your black and blue as the colours to be exchanged (which
you obviously knew).
