unable to change color of graphics - 11/12/2013 3:52:19 PM    OneGreenEye   Posts: 3 Joined: 11/7/2013 Status: offline I am unable to accurately change the color of graphics like I should. I had a red shield that I wanted to be dark blue. I got pink instead. No matter what color I tried, I didn't get even close to what I wanted. I tried a burgundy shield; bright blue made it purple. Is this fixable? I have been able to change other graphics, so I don't know if this was an isolated incident. I have Print Shop Deluxe 23.1 and Windows 7. Thanks. Post #: 1

When you run other applications on your computer do the colors appear the way they are supposed to? Sorry if I'm asking I just want to be sure that maybe a video driver on your computer or perhaps a setting on the monitor is allowing the proper color display to show on your screen. Outdated drivers could possibly have this effect on certain programs. < Message edited by TMLFAN4LIFE -- 11/14/2013 9:15:29 PM > _____________________________ Jason Carver Encore Sales Department and Customer Service www.encore.com For Tech Support, visit http://support.encore.com (in reply to OneGreenEye) Post #: 4

RE: unable to change color of graphics - 11/14/2013 9:31:45 PM    ellengard Posts: 3253 Joined: 10/2/2006 Status: offline The type of graphic is important. It sounds like you are editing a JPG. In this case, this program only changes the hue of the graphic. Selecting blue does this: Black becomes blue, red becomes magenta. To select the red and make it blue, you need to use a program such as PhotoShop Elements. MS Paint works if the red is one tone and not many shades of red. You can try editing it in the Photo Workshop part of this program. In the Photo Effects tab, choose Colorization... Blue. This converts the entire graphic to monotone blue. < Message edited by ellengard -- 11/14/2013 10:02:14 PM > (in reply to OneGreenEye) Post #: 5

I've been using Print Shop for years (20 appx) and this was the first time I had this experience. It's not very often that I try to change a color. (in reply to ellengard) Post #: 6

Please post your question in the Print Shop 3.5 forum here http://forums.encoreusa.com/tt.asp?forumid=320 Click the NEW POST button to start a thread. None of the advice for Print Shop 23.1 and older apply to version 3.5 so it's best to get relevant advice from the correct forum. (in reply to grammy SheShe) Post #: 9
