will not flood fill over black

Post by stagemanager1 »

I use X6. I am trying to replace a black background. It is a color image, with grey lettering. I want to change the background to white. When I set white as my colors and attempt to flood fill the black background, the lettering turns white, the background stays black. Tolerance is at 22, edge at 21

I have saved it as a .psp file.

Any ideas what is happening?

Thanks!

It would help if we had a bit more specific information about the image.

First, is the image a flattened image (i.e., a single background or raster layer image) or are there several layers?

If it is an image of only one layer, then are you saying that the image is simply a black image with grey letters and no other colors?

At first glance it sounds to me as if you have the text on one layer and the black background on another and have the text layer selected.
