Is there any way to get all of one color out of a whole sprite sheet at once?
Example:

There is always alot of parts that are closed in with the outside color, and it takes forever to get them all out and make the closed in part white again.

"closed in"? What parts are you talking about, specifically?

The Mega Charizard · 11-14-2008, 08:46 PM

-take this sheet for an example. When the sword is making a big slash that goes half way around him, beside the sword is blue closed in with the figure.

Here is a better example:

With Photoshop, you can use colormask.

The Mega Charizard · 11-14-2008, 08:50 PM

Well,does photoshop cost anything?

SephirothKirby · 11-14-2008, 09:05 PM

only a ****ton

I think you can do with with GIMP, but I forgot how

Luigiman7 · 11-14-2008, 09:06 PM

Just fill that part also.

Only use blue backgrounds?

t3hDarkness · 11-14-2008, 09:22 PM

What program are you using again?

If it supports multiple layers, then just leave your sheet with a transparent background and place a garish color behind it so you can make changes.

Easily. Do you have MS paint?

If you do, here are the steps:

1. Select color you want to get rid of with the Eyedrop Tool. Use a left mouse click.
2. Select color you want to replace it with with the same tool. This time, use a right mouse click.
3. Select eraser tool.
4. Press and hold Control and +. Use the numberpad +.
5. After the eraser is a sufficient size, press and hold RIGHT CLICK and drag that over the image. The colors will be converted when moused over.

Hope this helps.

Well,Quate told me what I wanted. (But some of the stuff that you guys said also worked.)

(with paint)
Step 1 : open two paints,1 with the spritesheet,and another with a blank one of the same size.

step 2: cut the a small peice of the color and paste it on the blank sheet.

Step 3:Use the eyedrop tool,and right click the color to be eliminated.

step 4:use cut tool and Basicly cut/copy the entire section of the spritesheet you want to have the color eliminated from.
Go to the blank page again.
With the cut tool selected there should be 2 boxes that appeared below the toolbox.
select the bottom box.
Be sure that the color set to be eliminated is in the right click box.

Then just paste it in the empty page.

This isn't as complicated as it seems,and allows you to eliminate large amounts of, "closed off" colors without constantly using the eraser,drawing over it,etc.etc.

It's actually alot simpler then I am able to make it sound,and it works.

It also helps you get the smallest spec without zooming,quite useful.
