Hello,

I am working with a single layer black on white clip art type gif and want to change both the foreground and background colors or at least the foreground and make the background transparent.

Seems simple but I am stumped.

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

To switch black and white, Ctrl-I.

To do further editing and get transparency, convert to RGB, do your editing and resave as gif.
