    Color Mapping Screen Shot

    Jack Community Member

      Made a screen shot of a portion of a web page containing black text (actually, Hebrew script) on a white BG. When selecting/copying, I found that the text is, itself, displayed as a graphic image.

       

      With my pasted image in a new PS document, I would like to change white to transparent and black to another color.

       

      Would you please provide or point me to a location giving the procedure for getting this done.

       

      Already found advice to set the layer blending options to "Multiply". Tried this but that did not work. Pasted image was pure white with no text.

          Have you tried printing a pdf from the site to get vector data?

           

          Anyway, my recommendation regarding the image:

          • Load selection by command-clicking a channel where the type is truly black (Edit: and the background is white)

          • Invert Selection

          • Create Solid Color Layer of intended new color
