A basic question for a basic user. I have a layer in an image which I created by using a paintbrush to create a shape using the colour black on a transparent background. I want to change this outline shape to a certain green. I go to Image/Adjustments/Replace Color. I click the radio button called Image and I see my black outline on a white background. The colour in the little boxes is black, same as outline.
I change the foreground colour to the green I wish to use and this changes the colour in the little boxes in the Replace Color window to that green. However, whichever eyedropper I choose to click on the black outline in the image just changes the colour in the little boxes back to black. So it is working in reverse to what I want to happen. How can I get the outline to turn from black to green?
Thanks
Julie

No worries. Got it fixed. Had to click on Lock Transparency icon in layers palette then fill with foreground colour.

You can also do the same by selecting the layer then going to 'Layer' >> 'Layer Style' and selecting 'Color Overlay' then choosing your colour.

Or in The GIMP, by right clicking on the image Layer -> Colours -> Colourise
Although am not really *understanding* the way this works, maybe Daveyboy - resident graphic design guru - will know?
