Changing color in transparent PNG

[gwpriester]

I cloned the image three times to increase the tonal range then created a new True Color + Alpha bitmap and adjusted the Dark Contone Color in the Color Editor.

Create a rectangle with a fill that you want, then use the bitmap for its transparency, then clone until the colors are vivid enough for you.

Doing it in scratch in X4 (X5 too?) reveals a real annoyance with Xtreme. When the transparency is applied to the rectangle, it won't keep its original aspect ratio. Maybe there's something I'm overlooking?

that's the way David

I did not get the distortion when applying the bitmap as transparency in xtreme 5 [or xtreme 2] - did have to set it to single non-repeating tile, but thats normal?

think it may be a setting of yours, or maybe just a ver 4 thing..... [don't have that to hand]

HI Soquili, GMs9810, etc..

GMs9810's answer worked for me. Thanks to all.

I have collected a bundle of free Photoshop brushes and I'm converting them from .ABR to .PNG files for my personal use in Xtreme. If anyone wishes to use them I will post them in a new thread. Let me know!

You can also change the light and dark contones using the colour editor.
