The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q207620 SYMPTOMS
If you recolor a picture that has only one color in it, the result may be
lighter than you expect. For example, if you have a graphic that is light
yellow, and you try to recolor it to black, the graphic will turn gray.
CAUSE
When you recolor a picture, Publisher converts the image to grayscale and
then maps that grayscale onto the color that you choose. If your single-
color picture is not black to begin with, it is converted to a shade of
gray; that gray is in turn converted to a tint of the color you want.
RESOLUTION
To recolor a picture, follow these steps: - Select the picture you want to recolor.
- On the Format menu, click Recolor.
- Choose the desired color.
- Click the option Leave black parts black, and click OK.
Now your picture should be properly recolored to the desired color.
