Hi,

I'm using PSP7.

I have screen dumped some text in a good looking font.
Its in grey scale...

I want to color in various letters in different colors.

I've tried color replacer, which I can easily replace the black with another
color.

But theres lots of grey-to-white colors.

Is there any way I replace black and greys into red and pinks (or blue and
light blues), easily?

Thanks in advance.

Well I've found the tolerance setting, which at least changes more dark grey
colors.

I might just live with that...

Use the Color to Target retouch tool. You can't change black
to pink without lightening the black first. This is because
pink is a light color. Pink, red and maroon vary only in their
lightness, not the hue or saturation. In contrast, deep blue
is a rather dark color but still lighter than black.

The technique is commonly called "colorize." Adding to what Kris
wrote, try a search for that at http://www.psplinks.com/ to find
useful tutorials.
