Reply To: Converting black line art to color

If the art file was saved correctly (bitmapped I believe), then once it’s positioned, select it with the white arrow unti it turns into the hand), then go to your swatches palette.

Now in the top left of the palette there are two tiny boxes. One is for the fill or the picture box, and one is the color for the art. I’m not sure which is which off hand. But play around with it.

If the first one you choose fills the picture box as a color, then you know it’s the other one. Click that to bring it forward and try again. It should then change the art color itself.

If it’s greyed out, then you may need to resave your tiff as bitmapped.

I don’t mean save as a .bmp, but rather in the color you choose bitmapped.

I’m not really sure how to explain it, as we have the gal who does our art do all the resaving.
