How To Recolor An Element

[snowdrop]

If you want to do this right on the element (not as a separate layer), just click Control-U, and the same hue/saturation/lightness bar will open up.

Hello! Here is a short tutorial on recoloring in SBC+ 3.0 with screen shots.

I chose a ribbon from Kellybell's Flitterific. The kit is perfect for my Twins 5th Birthday Celebration. I wanted to recolor the same ribbon to match Madeline/Tinker Bell and Isabella's/Silvermist's dresses.

Place the element to be recolored into your work area.

1) Select the element by clicking on it.
2) Click on the Color Ribbon.
3) Click on Adjust Hue.
4) Click on the dropper to sample a color from the screen. I call it the "Color Sucker" I took a color sample from Isabella's Silvermist dress. If you do not have a color to sample, simply slide the Hue slider to the desired color family.
5) Slide the Saturation and Intensity sliders until you have color that you desire.
6) You can also choose More Colors and use the sliders here to create the color that you desire. You can also save that color by clicking on Remember Color and you can file it under My Colors. Which is located using the drop down area at Standard Colors - here you will find Skin colors, Hair colors, and My colors.

I repeated the same steps with the same ribbon but sampled the color from Madeline's Tinker Bell dress.
