PSP7.04 help again

does any enterprising graphics persons know if there is a way of "grabbing" a colour in an image and either removing it or substituting another? ,i am trying to reproduce a intrepid catalogue thats printed on yellow paper ,ofcourse i could just print it but would waste tons of yellow as the pages have other colours besides yellow i would like them to remain ,if i could "remove" the colour and substitute it with white i could easily print the remainder on yellow paper ( i could do it the hard way removing the graphics ,retyping the text etc ) as there is 20 odd pages it would be a long job doing it by "hand"

one way of doing it would be to use the magic wand, on the left hand panel 8 icons down, then hold down shift and click on all the areas that you want to keep, then go to selections at the top, and select invert selection, now go to view, and toolbars and tick tool option pallet, click brush tool 10 down from the top, and put your mouse over the blue bar that says tool option-paint brush adjust the size of the brush to as big as you like, make sure hardnes and opacity is on 100, or you will get a semi transparent colour then go to the colour picker move it around the white are till you see 255 255 255 this is pure white, now start brushing out the back ground.

 

hope this helps.

oh one thing while you are doing a selection with magic brush using shift, psp counts this as one operation, so if you undo, you lose alot of time, so do a few selection let go of shift, then start another few selections, this way if you do selcet the wrong are, its not going to take you three weeks to catch up

the magic wand was a pain it get grabbing strange bits :confused: but i found the colour replacer thingy worked if it wasnt to agressive ( you can pick the actual colour on the pic to remove) then pick one to replace it with i then adjusted the contrast etc to get the darkest print and the brightest back ground unfortunatly i will have forgotten by tomorrow how i did it
