# Replacing Colours

You can replace colors in bitmaps with the Color Replacer tool.

Up to four colours can be replaced at once.

You can also use the Transparency option to replace the transparent areas of an image with a colour.

Similarly, you can use the Color Replacer to make a color on your image transparent.

## To replace colours with the Eyedropper tool

Ensure that the image you are using is a bitmap (for example, BMP, GIF, JPG, or PNG) or a metafile (for example, WMF).

1. Choose Tools - Eyedropper.

2. Click the Color Replacer icon and position the mouse pointer over the color you want to replace in the image. The color appears in the box next to the icon.

3. Click the colour in the image. The colour appears in the first Source colour box and the check box next to the colour is selected.

4. In the Replace with box, select the new colour.

   This replaces all occurrences of the Source colour in the image.

5. If you want to replace another colour while the dialogue is open, select the check box in front of Source colour in the next row and repeat steps 3 to 5.

6. Click Replace.

If you want to expand or contract the color selection area, increase or decrease the tolerance of the Color Replacer tool and repeat your selection.
