Hi

I have a black & white logo, with shades of grey in both GIF (transparency) and JPEG (white background) formats.

I want to conver the picture to a Blue & white logo, with shades of blue.

Can someone give me some step-by-step instructions on how to do this in photoshop please? Coz I haven’t a clue!

I’ve looked the program, and it’s a nice pretty maze of buttons and menus …. none of which shows any indication of doing this type of colour change.

I’ve also studied the online help text, and no luck there either. I did find a "Replace color"
dialog, but couldn’t see how that should work, and it seemed to want to overlay the whole picture with a colour, not exchange Black/grey for shades of blue.

I’m using photoshop 7 in WinXP Pro environment.

So an "idiot’s guide" set of click this push that type instructions would be welcomed

Thanks in advance.

If your image is already greyscale, just go to Image>Mode>Duotone and select the colours you want it to be. I think it’s fairly obvious when you get there.

If your image isn’t greyscale to start with, do Image>Mode>Greyscale first, then convert to duotone.
