You can do this with a search.\n\nWhen you specify the search parameters, choose Format and tell it to search for the color you want to change.\n\nWhen you specify the change to parameters, similarly tell it to change to the color you want.

It's like comparing apples and oranges\n\nPhotoshop is a paint progam while CorelDraw is a  vector drawing proram.\n\nThey work differently

Okay, two different things.  When mixing colors of the spectrum, white light results from mixing all the colors together (that's why many older video projectors have a red, green and blue light that combine to make all the colors)  Black is the absence of all light.\n\nWhen mixing pigments and paints, the opposite is true -- white is absence of any pigment, and black is the result of every color mixed in.  The reason you mixed gray or brown color instead of black is because paints are not perfectly pigmented; paints are composed of tiny particles suspended in some sort of solvent, and depending on the colors, you might have white or black particles in there that were added to adjust the hue of the particular colors you've bought.  (Adding white paint to black paint just means that you have a mixture of white and black particles, and thus your brain puts it together as gray)  So the gray color you ended up with still didn't have all the colors possible, and could never reflect back to your eye a uniform spectrum of all colors.  A sort of murky brown is the closest you'll likely get to black by mixing a bunch of paints together.

Thats because the pictures you are making are not in a format the computer can understand normally...Like jpeg, gif, png, etc...After doing what you want with paint, go to file, save as...then save it in jpeg form and you'll then be able to view it..

Standard buttons grey out automatically.\n\n If you have a custom bitmap on your button, convert it to greyscale in another tool, save the greyscale into the app resources and switch the image to the greyscale when not enabled.\n\n Likewise for custom painting operations.

Well, you might have the font color white on a white background, or black on a black background. \n\nClick on "Messenger" in the menu, go to "Preferences" and then click "Appearance" in the categories. You can change the "default font and colors". You might also click "Always use my font and colors" so you will be able to read it easily.\n\nIf all else fails, download new file and reinstall.

Its basically XP, but without the pretty colors. If you get SP4, then it has the basic functionality of XP Pro, with a few exceptions (some things are not there). I like the MMC in 2K better than XP, but thats a personal issue.

Assuming you're using Windows XP:\nstart ----> Control Panel ----> Appearance and Themes ----> Display (or any other option at this stage) -----> Appearance.\n\nThere you can start to play with the colors, the fonts size, the styling.\n\nIf you feel less adventurous, choose "themes" instead of "appearance", every theme has its own color and style.\n\nOh, and congrats for your new computer!

With Paint Shop Pro you load your image and then click on the paint brush icon.\nYou now need the Tools Options Pallet.\nClick View and ToolBars.\nMouse over the header bar of the Tool Options Pallet to see the details that you can change for the paint brush. ( Density, Shape, size, Hardness and Opacity)\n\nYou also have the colour pallets, Foreground (Left Mouse Click) and Background (Right Mouse Click), which can be changed from solid colour to graded colour to pattern.  A pattern can also be another image.\n\nThis works for airbrushing and cloning as well as colour replacer.

Is it at 16 colors or 16 bit color? 256 colors is much lower than 16 bit color (I think 256 colors is 8 bit color and 16 bit color has 65536 colors). If it is only capable of 16 colors you should buy a new computer--the one you have is way too old.\n\nIf 256 colors or 8 bit color is not an option in the display properties and you are capable of 16 bit color, then you have still have options, but keep in mind that the steps that follow are for Windows XP--they may not work or they may be different with a different operating system.\n\nFirst, find the .EXE file of the program you are having trouble with (you are probably trying to open it with a shortcut; in that case right-click on the icon, select 'Properties', and click the 'Find Target...' button under the 'Shortcut' tab) --> right-click on it and select 'Properties' --> click on the ‘Compatibility’ tab --> check the box labeled 'Run in 256 colors' and select OK. \n\nIf you are unable to do this, try restarting your computer in Safe Mode by pressing the F8 key (it might be a different key depending on your computer, so if F8 doesn't work try consulting your owners manual) while the computer is first booting up, and selecting 'Run in safe mode' or something similar using the arrow keys and the enter key.\n\nSetting the program compatibility is your best option; 256 colors usually looks pretty bad so you don't really want to set your monitor to this permanently.\n\nHope this helps!

install the graphics driver, you have that on your mother board cd. then install it, and go to right click properties, setttings, and have there 256 colors, but remember 256 colors is less than 32 bit of color, i.e. 256 color is = 24 bit color.
