How can I change a signature black (on white background) with another color?

I have a handwritten signature black on white background scanned in and stored in jpg format.

I need to select the black lines and change the color to something else, but I can't understand how to choose black and change the color to yellow (for example). I'm relatively new to Photoshop and am not familiar with masks, etc.

The Replace Color tool does not work for some reason any. If I select the area using the magic wand, it selects I want to change (the black line signature), but I don't know how to replace the color then.

Help! (I'm using CS5)

Here's the process from start to finish:

Make sure that you are working on a copy of the original image of signature...

1) bring to the image of your signature.

(2) create a new layer and fill it with the color you want to replace black with.

(3) set the layer to screenmode.

(4) to flatten the image by going to layer > Flatten Image.

(5) duplicate the layer to control-click on the layer in the layers panel. Make the invisible the original layer by clicking the eyeball next to her.

(6) use the magic wand to select the white area of your image and delete it. Make sure that contiguous are unchecked upward at the top of your screen so that you select the areas of white contained in the loop in the signature.

(7) remove the layer that you have hidden by dragging to the trash in the layers panel.

Now you can just drag the layer remaining in your other document, or record it is as a .png to be placed in a new document. I hope this helps!

  • How can I change the size of text and background color?

    How can I change the size of text and background color? When I select the text box and change the height, nothing happens. If I drag the box is smaller, it just jumps back to where she was. If I try to change the color, (which is set to 'default' gray), no color, it still shows as white on preview. Because I can not change the size of text box, I need to at least make the clear background because it's something that overlap.

    Answered my own question kind of... I had to go into the 'code' and change the settings manually. Why even have the options in 'view designer' to change the size of text box or color if it doesn't?

  • Photosmart C310: What models allow a black-and-white printing with low color cartridge?

    I'm looking to replace my old HP Photosmart Premium all-in-One printer, because it works with reliability more. My biggest problems with this model are:
    1.)
    I can't print in black and white when one or more of the color cartridges must be replaced
    2.)
    The black ink cartridges work only sporadically. I lost a lot of money on the black ink cartridges that do not work, and I tried all the techniques of troubleshooting many times and no solution.
    3.)
    I hate having to spend $100 + to replace the cartridges. It's such a scam!

    I have teenagers who need the ability to print the homework on a very regular basis and in a timely. I can't spend another frantic morning, trying to get a printer (with new cartridges) to print!

    I hope someone with a knowledge of the range of HP products can explain different types of all-in-one printers available to me... and which would be best suited to my needs. Ideally, I'd like to find one that allows to print in black and white ONLY when the color cartridges are low or exhausted - if there is such a thing?

    Thanks in advance for any info, tips or advice anyone could offer!

    Hi @katvit74,

    While I don't have any specific purchasing advice @katvit74, I can offer a few troubleshooting tips to see whether your printer is at the end of his life.

    You're not the first to express frustration at having to have impoverished the cartridges replaced to continue printing. Personally, I suggest to use grayscale options, when printing so that the colored inks not so quickly adjust upward. Frankly, after reading your post again, I feel that you don't have want to solve your Photosmart Premium.

    I value your time and do not want you to feel like I don't have. That being said, we will encircle your initial request. Maybe you would rather a system printer for 2 ink that the cartridge supports single mode, or maybe a Laserjet that prints black only. The printer you choose should be based on your needs. According to me, the best way I can help is to offer you the tool product Advisor.

    Tool advice product is designed to target the product most suitable for your particular needs. Please answer all questions to give us the most complete picture of your needs - more information you provide, the more efficiently, we can recommend.

  • HP 5530: Black-and-white printing with no color cartridge

    Two questions please.

    (1) this printer print black and white if the color cartridge is empty or not placed on printer at all.

    (2) I have been using HP 61 XL.  Is HP 61 the same quality as HP XL 61

    Thank you.

    Hey @Kathiebronx,

    I see that you have questions about the desire 5530 e - all - in - one printer. I can answer those for you.

    (1) the 5530 envy has a system of two cartridges so it will print with a black cartridge in the printer.

    (2) 61 and 61XL cartridges are both HP cartridges. The printer must be able to print with the same quality that you were using a regular cartridge or a cartridge XL.

    I hope this helps to answer your questions and I hope you have a great week!

  • How can I change the cover photo of the project in another image in the project?

    I want to change the cover photo for a project. I found this information in the knowledge base:

    How to replace or change the cover on my Portfolio Images? -Adobe knowledge base portfolio & FAQ

    However, after I deleted my old cover photo, I pick up a new photo on my computer. I can't find a way to choose a cover from the already uploaded images and in the project photo.

    What is the only way to do it? Looks like I should be able to scroll through them and choose a new picture of the cover.

    Hello

    I was wondering the same thing and I think I found a solution for this. If you go to the project page - project to change content, after the editor has been loaded, you have a small black rectangle in the bottom of the page, content, coverage, parameters, overview, updated project. When you click on the cover, you can actually choose your new coverage among the images already uploaded from your project. I hope that helped. I don't understand why you're not able to do it from your gallery page, it is somewhat confusing and I hope it will pass portfolio team.

    Hello andyusfr, yes you can use an image or a photo as avatar, but don't forget "avatars" have low resolution, so it's a little hard to see all details.

    You can search in the search engines also for avatars.

    If you don't like an avatar, you can change to another, or to default (remove a link if poster on the page edit beside the new avatar profile.) If you click on it, which will restore the default avatar)
