Vince42 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I would like to change in the picture the color black to orange. I tried it with and without selecting everything, adding adjustment layers over the menu, the tool window, I tried the color replacement tool - but nothing worked as expected. I am sure that there is an easy way - but I am to stupid to find it. Any help is highly appreciated. project-management.afphoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Add a white rectangle below the text layer, so that its background is white instead of transparent. Cover the canvas with an orange rectangle at the top of the layer stack, and set the blend mode for that layer to 'Screen' (to make the black parts turn orange while the white parts remain white).

toltec Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Nest an orange layer or object inside the background.layer. project-management.afphoto p.s. That only works because of the transparency.

R C-R Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Yet another way: 1. Select menu > Selection From Layer with the Background layer selected 2. Set the Flood Fill Tool to the desired orange color, Continuous to off, Tolerance to 100% 3. Click anywhere on the text with the Flood Fill Tool Pros: single layer simplicity Cons: destructive Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince42 Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Wow ... so many approaches and I had none of these ideas. i really hope, that I can one fine day think the way that is required to achieve that kind of things. Thank you all, I will try out every approach, but from the looks and the logic I guess that I will end up with @toltec's solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please note that the counter (i.e. the ‘hole’) in the initial ‘a’ of ‘application’ in @toltec’s screenshot is filled in. That’s because it’s white rather than transparent in the pixel layer.

JimmyJack Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Easiest way.... IMHO. FX > Color Overlay • Just set the color if you don't care about the aliasing. • Set it to Screen to address the A-hole that @Alfred pointed out ( - this is the real reason why I'm posting a reply).... and to continue on with color aliasing. • To reintroduce transparency aliasing follow @owenr's directions instead.
