Does anyone know how to change b & w clip art color? I don't want to fill the background or object, I just want to change all black lines to a different color. I feel like an idiot because I have tried and cannot figure it out. Many thanks.
The first thing to determine is if your image is a bitmap or vector shapes.
Sometimes websites show bitmaps as being clipart, most artists expect clipart to be vector shapes.
If your shape is a bitmap, then:
1. change your color mode to RGB if it isn't
Image | convert to RGB
2. use "color mask" tool in mask menu to select the black area. Press Reset in the dialog, use eyedropper to select black in image. leave dialog, area should be masked.
3. right-click on color in palette that you want
4. Menu:
Edit | Fill
