Colour replacement in Designer 2 (Mac)

[Ian Greig]

I have a black object on a layer in a logo design.  I need the object in a colour.

I can't find the colour replacement brush, not even as a customise add-in to the toolbar.

What am I missing here?

Designer does not have a Colour Replacement Brush, but Photo does.

If you can give us a full-screen screenshot showing us what you can see, including the Layers Panel with the relevant layer selected, we can probably offer alternatives.

Note: “object” doesn’t give us much information to work from, and “layer” could mean various things.

Time pressure... I got around it another way

It  was a pencil-tool drawn object (curve) which I rasterised – so a pixel layer

Is there some reason why you rasterised it?
If you left it in vector form then you could have recoloured it very simply.

No, not really -- I thought a px layer was the way to go when I failed to recolour it first time round

You can assign a new color any time after creating a vector object. Just select it, have the fill tool, move tool or vector shape tool active, and choose a color.

If it is a vector object, it does not matter what tool on the Tools panel you are using. Just make sure the object is selected in the Layers panel & set its fill or stoke color to whatever you want in the Color, Swatches, or (in AD) the Appearance panel.
