Changing the color of an image in Draw

Hello out there,
I have created a business card in Draw consisting of a simple line drawing and some text. I want to change the card from black on a white background to a single color on a white background. Help isn't helping me. Downloaded manuals say nothing. Anyone know the procedure? Thanks.
Allan S.

] I've gone back to the original file of just the line drawing, which is a Paint file and tried to change that.
If the drawing itself is a PAINT object, using the paint bucket, as suggested by K A R is the way to go. You can find out what type of object it is by clicking on the original.
If it's PAINT, the cursor will change to one of the PAINT tools (most likely the pencil). Use the Paint bucket to change the colour. Take note of the cautions offered in K A R's post.
If it's a DRAW object, you'll get handles at the four corners. You may have to UNGROUP the object before changing the colour(s). Press shift-command-G to ungroup. This should give you a cluster of handles, indicating that more than one object is selected. Leave them selected, and use the colors palette in the Tools to change the Fill colour to your choice.
If this gives you a single block of colour, press command-Z to undo the changes, deselect the group by clicking well outside the object. Then click on the background to the object to select the background, but not the drawing, and press delete. Drag a seection rectangle to enclose the remaining parts, and change the fill colour as above.
Regards,
Barry

How do I create a duplicate image inside the same page? Then how do I change the color of that image

how do I create a duplicate image inside the same page? Then how do I change the color of that image from black to red?

Hello there!
Here is one way to create a duplicate image and colorize it. As you can see below, I have one image right now, that I want to duplicate.
My layers panel looks like below.
To duplicate your image, click the downward arrow on the right side of your Layer Panel.
Select Duplicate Layer. This will duplicate the layer that the image is on.
Select "OK" to approve the duplication.
As you can now see in the Layers panel, the image is duplicated. The new layer is now at the top of the Layer panel.
Now to colorize your image, go to Window > Adjustments.
The Adjustments panel will now be opened. Select the Hue and Saturation icon as seen circled in red.
The Hue and Saturation propertied panel will be opened. I selected "Colorize", and adjusted the hue and saturation bar to achieve the level red in my photo.
As you can see below, the image is now red.
Now i want to make sure only ONE of my image layers is red. I moved the Hue and Saturation layer to only be on top of the bottom layer. The image on the top layer now will not be affected by the red.
Select the move tool, so I can now move the image layers so we can see both of them.
With each image layer selected, you can take the move tool and move the images. I moved mine on top of eachother and you can see my red layer (bottom) and the non red layer (top).
I hope that helps. i have also included helpful links.
Please post back with any questions,
Janelle

Can I change the color of an image to a specific color code?

Since I was unable to do this in Photoshop, I was wondering if there was a way in Flash to simply change the color of an image to a speciifc color code. The image is more or less a simple line with rounded corners. It is only composed of 1 color. Does anyone know if it can be done with Flash?

Shouldn't be a problem to do it in Photoshop or Flash. Since you couldn't do it in PS, I'm guessing that there is more to it than you are making obvious here.
But in Flash you would import it, make it into a movieclip or graphic. Then apply a tint from the color effect portion of the properties panel.

Can you change the color of an image without changing it in photoshop first?

I have created a link for Indesign using Photoshop. It is basically a plain black graphic that is placed over an aerial to highlight the represented water. It is possible to change the color of this graphic without actually going back into photoshop?

Another option is to make a path around the image, so that you have a vector shape with full control over fill and transparency.
You can do the path in Ps, save as clipping path, bring into InD, position, convert clipping path to frame, select and delete content, fill, fade...
It may be easier to do the path in InD, but perhaps accurate positioning over the area you're after would be an issue.

How do I change the color of an image

I have some photos that I would like to change the color of, so that I can have the same image in multiple colors. How do I do this using Photoshop CS4?

Using a Solid Color Layer set to the Blend Mode Color is one of several options in general …
But maybe you could post a screenshot and elaborate one what you are trying to achieve.

How do I change the color of an image while still keeping some detail within the image

I am trying to take a handprint such as the one below and change the color of the handprint to say a light pink (or any color) but I want to keep most of the detail of the fine lines that make this handprint unique. The lines could even just come out as white as below. The main thing is to change the overall color while maintaining the fine details. I have been trying to accomplish this for over a week now in Photoshop Elements 11 and I have been unsuccessful as anything I do just totally color fills the image, which does not keep any details of the handprint. Thank you to anyone who may be able to help me.

Hello again,
Unfortunately, I am not getting the same result as you and I was wondering if you would take a look at what I'm doing and maybe you could tell me what I'm doing wrong.
I go to file, open and bring in my file
Go to Select, Layer, New, Layer
Name = Layer 1
Mode = color
ok
Two things then seem to go wrong:
1. I chose my foreground color, but when I go to paint, a smart brush setting takes over so I had to change my paint color in that setting - to pink. also my foreground box color will then change to gray
2. So then I do have a pink handprint, but when I change the opacity, it only effects the pink - and not the black on the handprint (pic below). I want the black to go away and have only the color there with the unique lines of the handprint which you were able to do.
I'm not that handy in layering so maybe i'm doing something wrong there - just not real sure.
Can you help? I liked the way your handprint came out - if I could copy that with any color that would be great and exactly what I'm looking to do.
Thank you so much.

How to change the color of an image....

I have a logo that I use that has a
white background with black lettering. I would like to use that logo sometimes with white lettering. How can I change that using PSE 7?
I am creating postcards with a picture on the left and a color block on the right that compliments that picture on the left. I would also like to implement a gradient of some sort from the picture to the color block. Any tips on how to do that as well? I would like it to go from left to right....

We'll use the image you posted.
1. Use the black and white icon in your layers palette to make a pink solid color fill adjustment layer.
Since the mask is white the entire image will be covered by the pink color.
2. Now, we are going to hide the entire effect (pink solid color fill adjustment layer) by filling it with black. With the solid color fill layer highlighted in the layers palette, you can use the paint bucket or just invert the white mask by pressing Ctrl + I.
Here we see that the entire pink solid color fill layer is hidden. We are now looking at your background layer.
We are going to use a different gradient this time and make it easier to understand. I think I used linear last time. I think it will be easier to understand going this route for this particular situation.
3. Set your foreground color chip to white then select the gradient tool. With the gradient tool selected, open the gradient editor and select the white to transparent preset. (To open gradient editor, double click the gradient window in your options bar.
Above is what you need to look for in the options bar to double click to gain access to the gradient editor.
The second preset should be foreground to transparent. If white to transparent isn't available, you need to change your tool box's foreground color to white as the gradient's foreground color will be whatever is selected as the foreground color in the tool box.
4. Here is a screen shot of my gradient tool settings that I used.
I pulled from right to left because I do not have reverse checked. If I had reverse checked, I would have pulled left to right. Notice the gradient style I have selected and that the tool is in normal blend mode and that transparency has been enabled.
I should also mention that I pulled from pretty close to where the two images join and only pulled maybe a centimeter worth of drag.
Yellow line shows start and stop point of tool drag. *You can drag more than once if the gradient is too thin at the join.
The reason you want to hold in the shift key as you drag the gradient is because this gives you an even pull...makes a straight line. Without using the shift key you can get a wonky uneven join.

Can you change the color behind the wallpaper on an iPad?

Hi, there! As I'm sure other people have noticed, finding wallpapers in the 768x1024 resolution can be rather... difficult. So instead of being picky, I'd rather just find ones that might not quite fit and have the iPad do the work for me.
That being said, it's quite ugly always having a black background behind my images when they don't fill up the whole screen (particularly on a white iPad). Is there some way to change the color behind my image?
Thanks!

Ahh, I see. How unfortunate. ):
When I attempt to zoom where I'd like, it often isn't smart enough to do it properly after I select home/lock screen and pushes it to an awkward part of the screen (like to the bottom cutting it half off). I guess my big problem is just wanting it to look good both horizontal and vertical.
Thanks, anyway. (:

Changing Fill Color on pasted images

I am try to change the color of an image I got off the internet, however, I used the Instant Alpha feature to remove all the other "junk" that was in the pic. Now I have a clean image, but I would like to create multiples of the image, but make them different colors. Is there any way to do this? I have been pulling out what little hair I have left in an attempt to figure it out. Thanks for any help offered

You can do different "monochrome" colors by taking the Saturation down to zero, then messing with the Temperature and Tint to get the color you want. The "black" parts of the picture will change to the color you want, and other shades will be lighter or darker.

How to change the color of same coloured sections of an image according to the colorpicker..?

Hi.. How r u all..?
I'm doing a small program to change the color of those sections of an image which are having the same color, according to the color selected from the colorpicker..
Say we have selected a color from the colorpicker, and then the mouseclick event on the image changes the color of those parts in the image which are having the same color as the clicked portion (or pixel) to the selected color.. If we've selected FF0000 from the colorpicker, then clicked on 3300CC coloured pixel in the image. This should change the color of all the 3300CC coloured pixels in the image..
I've a colorpicker [colpickr] and a movieclip [mc] of the image on the stage. I created a bitmap of that same same image (imag1) using code. Selecting the color from the colorpicker and a mouse click on the movieclip (here I used getPixel) will change that color in the bitmap to the selected color (with setPixel). So here I've two images; one is a movieclip (inorder to add listener for click event) and one is a bitmap (inorder to set the property setPixel). But I need only a single image.
Please help me regarding this.. Given below is my (horrible) code..
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
var c = 0;
var myBitmapData:BitmapData;
var bm:Bitmap;
colpickr.selectedColor = 0xffffff;
var preLoader;
var urlReq;
var preloader_img:MovieClip;
preLoader =new Loader();
preLoader.unloadAndStop();
urlReq = new URLRequest("imag1.jpg"); // i've selected the same image as that of movieclip mc
preLoader.load(urlReq);
preLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,preLoaderComplete);
//creates a bitmap image of mc..
function preLoaderComplete(loadEvent:Event) {
    myBitmapData = new BitmapData(mc.width,mc.height);
    myBitmapData.draw(mc);
    bm = new Bitmap(myBitmapData);
    addChild(bm);
    bm.width = mc.width;
    bm.height = mc.height;
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, _onMouseClick);
//gets the color of mc and sets the color to bitmap
function _onMouseClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
    var myColor:uint = myBitmapData.getPixel(mc.mouseX,mc.mouseY);
    c = myColor.toString(16);
    for (var i=0; i<bm.width; i++) {
        for (var j=0; j<bm.height; j++) {
            if (myBitmapData.getPixel(i,j).toString(16) == c) {
                myBitmapData.setPixel(i,j,colpickr.selectedColor);

try this:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
var c=0;
var myBitmapData:BitmapData;
var bm:Bitmap;
colpickr.selectedColor=0xffffff;
var preLoader;
var urlReq;
var preloader_img:MovieClip;
preLoader =new Loader();
preLoader.unloadAndStop();
urlReq=new URLRequest("z_bitmaps/image1.jpg");// i've selected the same image as that of movieclip mc
preLoader.load(urlReq);
preLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,preLoaderComplete);
//creates a bitmap image of mc..;
function preLoaderComplete(loadEvent:Event) {
    bm = Bitmap(loadEvent.target.loader.content);
    addChild(bm);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, f);
function f(e:MouseEvent):void{
    if(bm.hitTestPoint(mouseX,mouseY) && !colpickr.hitTestPoint(mouseX,mouseY)){
        _onMouseClick(e);
//gets the color of mc and sets the color to bitmap
function _onMouseClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
    c=bm.bitmapData.getPixel(bm.mouseX,bm.mouseY);
    for (var i=0; i<bm.width; i++) {
        for (var j=0; j<bm.height; j++) {
            if (bm.bitmapData.getPixel(i,j)==c) {
                bm.bitmapData.setPixel(i,j,colpickr.selectedColor);
