Use the Colour select tool in Intersect mode with increased threshold value to select the text. Isolate the text with (say) Rectangular select tool.Ģ.

It sort of sounds like the magic wand tool, but that is different and pretty unpredictable as well.ġ. Quote:A rectangle or free select might work too, but in this case maybe a brush type thing seems like it would be easier. There is a brush mode Color Erase which does what it says but is also liable to change the underlying colours. All depends on the background to the text. If its grayed-out, it means that you have an indexed image. I can not think of a really good way, apart from identifying the font and typing over existing. Its menu location is Filters -> Colors -> Color To Alpha, where means to right click on the image. Something like a brush or eraser set so when it passes over an area would change just any black pixels to red might be best for this situation. In this case it is text and the current color is black which is present in other parts of the drawing and it is on a background color that is also in other parts of the drawing. I know I can do this for the entire image. I would like to change certain specific colored pixels in specific areas from their current color to another. Thanks all.(05-23-2023, 02:02 PM)TMORT Wrote: I have an image that is from a picture of a drawing. You can also specify a range with the color selector that will pick colors in the range. Once you've made your selection, your color modifications will only apply to that selection. Not the same as the color picker (eyedrop). It works like the magic wand, but will select all parts of the image that are the same color, even if they're not connected to where you're selecting. It should be between the magic wand and the scissors. The color select tool is the one that looks like a pointing finger with some blocks. Using the Color Exchange Option to Replace Colors Open the Image or Create a new image in GIMP by clicking the File menu in the menu bar. Not sure what to do after I choose a color using the color picker.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the steps jeffegg2 suggested. Steep pancake edited this topic ages ago. Open up the Hue-Saturation window and select the main color to adjust, then play around with the hue, lightness, and saturation until you get it right. I don't know if this will help, but it might: Use the color select tool, you can adjust the range of the color selected, and then change it with color balance/hue. I tried the masking technique outlined at and blackmoon development for cutting out complex hair but neither technique is working for me as the individual's hair and the background are both light in color. If I could replace a color range based upon what's in a selection somewhere in an open area of the image, it would in theory replace the same color that's embedded between the strands of hair. It's a little more complicated than that. If you need to replace them with just one color, then why not use bucket fill tool on selection? :-) It would be nice if I could make a selection and tell GIMP, 'This is the range of colors I want to replace with 'X' color. The single color replacement tool in GIMP is nice but impractical for the job I have in mind. For instance a range of orange hues in a image with black. Is there an easy way to replace a range of colors in a image with another color.
