Convert Blue to Orange

[Gogf]

How do I take an image, and compeltely convert all blue to orange? I have Fireworks MX 2004, and Irfan view.

I haven't used Fireworks in a long time, so I can't really help you there.

If you have Photoshop, or know someone that does, you can highlight the blue areas and use the "replace color" tool to change it.

Well, I want to convert multiple shades. I can install photoshop on my computer at come, but I doubt I will.

Can you post the image? I want to see exactly how complex of an image we are talking about here.

Let me show you an example.

(Keep in mind, I hastily chose the area to have the color replaced. For a better effect, spend more time highlighting the areas needed.

Well, I would want it to be a light orange, but I can probably work from red...

So the dark stay dark? Good.

I will be doing with to many images.

Invision skinning eh?

If you can use a .psd file there is a GDK for the buttons. (but only for 1.2/1.3 at the moment) The button colour can easily be changed without effecting the text or icons.

Small images like that will be a little bit harder to work with because of the small amount of pixels - but it's still doable. And yes, you can choose a different tone of orange or whatever. What you are working with is the hue/saturation/brightness leves - you're not actually specifying a color.

^^ That one looks far better. Good job. What program did you end up using?

 

[Gogf]

Fireworks. I used the magic wand to select everything but the heads, then lowered the hue -160, and raised the saturation 40.

With Paint Shop Pro, (probably other softwares as well) you can due it more accurately by going to colors -->adjust hue map, or another one, (can't remember atm, but in the same menu. this way there will be little or no "banding"
