    Default Totally Experated - Will someone to a short Screen share traning

    Acorn,

    I am trying to change the color of the sky in an image. I use to be able to do this but the icons and where they are located has also changed. I am searching in the Xara Online help and it has not been updated to keep up with the product. What is shown in the help is not what is in the product. Gee, sometimes I hate progress.

    Appreciate your help!

    Default Totally Experated - Will someone to a short Screen share traning

    I am beyound experated. I am trying to change the color of the sky in an image. The Help does not match the product, Designer Pro +. Would someone do a screen share with me for a few minutes? Be happy to pay.

    I am located in the US, Central Time Zone. I use Splashtop for screenshare support, or if you have a preference that's fine.

    THANKS!

    onlye, there are so many ways.

    Look at https://helpandsupport.xara.com/xara...nter_tool.html that provides the most subtle of changes.

    You can use the Eraser tool and put a different colour block behind - https://helpandsupport.xara.com/xara...ckgrounds.html

    The one you are probably missing is https://helpandsupport.xara.com/xara...selection.html

    Try https://helpandsupport.xara.com/xara...ance_tool.html Button 13, click on the sky then adjust Button 9 controls.

    As Acorn pointed out. https://helpandsupport.xara.com/xara...ance_tool.html

    And remember Xara is non destructive, so you can play with all the settings if you wish.Click image for larger version.

    Use the Photo Tool > (on top right of Infobar) Select Colors to Enhance.

    Click on the sky with the Select Colors to Enhance tool, then use the Tolerance and Fade sliders to increase or decrease your range.

    This solution is much better than the previous option.

    I use this feature all the time and it works really well.

    I'm with Gary's method.

    Happy to do it with you via remote support if you want a go, but with his notes I think you'd be away. I'm in London (so 9hrs ahead of you).
