Image locked in B & W
|
|
|
| I downloaded a little black and white street map gif and want to put red
circles on it to designate some intersections. But the map seems to be
locked in black and white - my color palette is all gray. Color depth
for the gif shows as 256, though.
How do I get it to accept colors?

A palette-based image can have only the colors in the palette, of
course. You have two choices.
1) Edit the palette. Image > Palette > Edit Palette. Change one of
the colors to the red that you need. Unused colors are usually shown
after all the others as black.
2) Increase the color depth. Image > Increase Color Depth > 16
Million Colors. Now you can paint any color. The GIF Optimizer will
reduce it again to 256 colors if necessary to re-write it as a GIF.

Image > Increase Color Depth > 16 Million Colors. This
item is under the Color menu in older versions of PSP.
