Replacing colors
The Replace Color tool lets you select a color and paint over that color with a different color.
Original photograph; after using the Replace Color tool
Fireworks provides two different ways to replace one color with another. You can replace a
color that you’ve specified in the color swatch, or you can replace a color by using the Replace
Color tool directly on the image.
To replace one color with another using the color swatch:
1. Select the Replace Color tool from its pop-up menu.
2. In the From box in the Property inspector, click Swatch.
3.
Click the From color well to select the color probe, and select a color from the pop-up
menu to specify the color you want to replace.
4. Click the To color well in the Property inspector and select a color from the pop-up menu.
5. Set the other stroke attributes in the Property inspector:
Size sets the size of the brush tip.
Shape sets a round or square brush tip shape.
Tolerance
determines the range of colors to replace (0 replaces only the To color; 255
replaces all colors similar to the To color).
Strength determines how much of the Change color is replaced.
Colorize
replaces the Change color with the To color. Deselect Colorize to tint the
Change color with the To color, leaving some of the Change color intact.
6.
Drag the tool over the color you want to replace.
