Hello,

How can I select more colors to make an background?
For example: I scan a logo from a company. It's an red logo with black
letters. If I have scanned the logo there are over 70 colors of red!
How can I select all 70 colors and change them in one red color or an
other color? I use CorelPhotopain 7

Thank you for the answer!

Kind regards,

Jeroen

Good luck.

The image most likely is scanning as an rgb true color image. If you
convert the image to paletted Uniform, undithered then you can set the
number of colors you want in the palette.

Use the color replacement tool. You can replace all the red colours with
one colour. Using a heavy Gausian blur will leave to much other colours to
be able to set the background transparent.

If there are only two colours in the image (or should be), convert it to
256 colours, only choose "optimal" and no error diffusion and set the
number of coulors to 2. It's the quickest option.

cheers,
