Logo Blacks

Darkheath · 06-01-2004, 05:16 AM

I just made a logo that is predominately black. Can someone tell me exactly what I need to do for OOTP5 (is OOTP6 any different?).

I'm thinking I just need to lighten it somewhat. I have PhotoShop5, could someone explain please?

BTW... I'm glad I found this thread. A lot of great work in here!

Thanx,

dave

Easiest thing is just applying a brightness of, say, 10. This would erase the true black from the pic.

Don't know if Photoshop 5 has it but with 7 I use "replace color".

Set the main color to pure black....go to "Image > Adjustments (I think) > Replace color" and it will show you a preview of what part will be adjusted and a preview of the new color along with slider bars to change it. Increase the "brightness" slider bar to about +10 or so.

Might want to increase the "Fuzziness" setting on the replace color window a little bit as well so that it catches more of the black. Not sure but I do that for good measure.

I use the great freeware program Irfanview to fix this problem with true black.

In the toolbar, I click on Image > Enhance Colors > Color Balance

In color balance, move the slider for Black from 0 to 1.

Voila! Save the image and you are done. Takes all of two seconds.

Irfanview is available here.
