Changing bitmap palettes

You can create contone
bitmaps by altering their palette. You can use any two colors so you can create, for example, sepia effects.

To change a bitmap palette:

1. Select the bitmap (see Selecting objects).

2. Click on the first color on the Color Line.

3. Shift-click on the second color on the Color Line.

Tips

If you find the two colors are reversed (black is white and white is black), reapply them from the Color Line the other way around.

You can also change the colors using drag-and-drop from the Color Line or Color Gallery onto the center and edge of a bitmap.

You can also open the Color Editor and edit the line and fill colors of the bitmap directly.

An easy way to create a grayscale image from a color one is to drag white from the Color Line and drop it onto the bitmap.

You can also change the brightness and contrast of bitmaps.
