Ok, so this has to be the easiest thing in the world - but as it stands I cant figure it out !!
I have a .png file. It is a black flourish and I want it to be white or teal.
How can I change the color of this object ?
Import your file (.png) to CorelDRAW and convert it to Bitmap > Black and White. After that go to BITMAP>OUTLINE TRACE>DETAILED LOGO. When POWER trace is opened, choose "Remove Back Ground" (in Options tab) and click OK.
Back to CorelDRAW apply color to object as you wish.
Thanks, I tried this but the centre stayed white ?

If you are gong to trace it, then when you have the Trace dialog open, be sure to have a checkmark beside the box for 'Remove color from entire image' under the Remove Background heading.
But Patti's method is faster and probably the one that you want to use, to be able to keep the image as a bitmap (*.png, *.jpg, etc.)
Your file keeps background white if you do not choose "Remove back ground". But even if you do not use this option, after bringing it back to the CorelDRAW (already converted), you can ungroup it (Ctrl+U) and delete the background (or keep it as your need).
YAY thanks - it worked !!

I'm curious...which method did you use? :-)
BTW, you can do the Replace color thing in CorelDraw as well. Effects>Adjust>Replace Colors. These are image adjustments "borrowed" from Photo-Paint. You don't need to use Photoshop at all!
