Detailed in the official Macromedia propaganda, there are 10 recommended fireworks MX 2004 new features, one of which is the replace Color Tool. To be honest, this feature didn't get my attention when I got the new version of fireworks, and it was roughly similar to the 4.0 version of the Erase tool. But after careful use, its function somewhat surprised me, he can do is not only the bitmap color replacement, further, it can also change the main color of the picture, replace the background color, there is a more important is to use it can be used to buckle the operation of the map. Here's a look at his major features.
First we open a beautiful picture, we will use this beauty to carry out an experiment, don't be afraid, will not damage her beautiful image.
I. Introduction of Parameters
Select Replace Color Tool from the tool panel, and when selected, the tool automatically enters the bitmap state, and the corresponding property panel displays some of the tool's parameters.
Let's take a look at the meaning of each parameter,
The size is the amount of the Smudge tool; shape is the shape of the smudge tool; The change is the color you want to replace on the bitmap; To is the replaced color.
Tolerance is tolerance, that is, color replacement will affect the range, the larger the tolerance, the affected color range will be larger.
Strength is the intensity, that is, after the replacement of the color of the original color of the mixing degree, the greater the intensity, the more the coverage degree.
second, change the main color of the picture
We first replace the main color of beauty, replace the color of the picture should be checked colorize option, first adjustment tolerance is about 150, strength of 110, the other parameters see the following figure:
The effect of the replacement is as follows:
Rose Lover
Changing different parameters can also result in more effects, as follows:
Moonlight Lover
Sunshine Lover
Well, the details also require you to slowly realize that by changing the size of the tool through varying tolerances and intensities, you can limit the color of the replacement to the range of colors you want, so you can change the color of any part of the image. For example, for beauty mascara, painting eyes, apply lipstick, dye hair and so on ~ but do not draw into a monster Ah ~
third, change the background color
Let's take a look at how to replace the background color, first of all, to cancel the selection of Colorize, set according to the following parameters, carefully to the portrait around the use of tool smear, especially in the character and background color close to the place, you can slow down, or change to a smaller size:
The effect of this substitution is as follows:
four, the character buckle picture
Since we can replace the background color of the character, we can naturally separate the characters from the background, this time we use black to replace the back color. Different from the previous several times, we need to carefully adjust each parameter, carefully separate the characters from the background, first set the following parameters:
We first in the character of the head of the color difference between the larger place, pay attention to observation, if the characters face color is also replaced by Black, back to a step, the tolerance to smaller number of operations,
The effect at this point is as follows:
Next in the body part of the portrait, because the color is very close, we will adjust the tolerance to 1, after the replacement of the effect is as follows:
OK, the basic operation method know, constantly change the tolerance and size, soon we can remove the background, the final effect is as follows:
Finally, the black background is removed with the magic wand tool, and the character is completely independent. Finally, add a background to the character to see the effect:
The above is the color substitution tool's main operation procedure, specific details I did not write in detail, it's related parameters I did not carefully analyzed, but its function can be said completely beyond my expectations, perhaps it has a more powerful use of the function, which I hope you can personally operate, and slowly explore the scope of its use, I believe he will become a common tool for us in the future.
