I received a logo from a client. I really would like to be able to add colors to the logo. I would like to add one color (light gray) to the mountains. I would like to add another color (yellow or orange) to the sun. How can I do this in Fireworks? You can see the copy of the logo below:

| Since you cannot see the picture, please go to http://65.174.82.72/brialogo.gif - http://65.174.82.72/brialogo.gif . I really would like to add a light gray color to the mountains and orange or yellow to the sun behind the mountains. Does anyone personally think that the logo looks good without the colors? |

Thank you! The logo looks nice. I just wish that I could make the mountains one solid light gray color. I also wish that I could make the sun one solid yellow color. I noticed that there are some spots. Does anyone else know how you can edit the colors in Fireworks?

I don't see any spots Use the lasso tool on the sun and the polygon lasso tool around the triangles - do edit copy and paste - then select your triangles and add effect - colour fill, choose your colour and bingo - job done! Do the same with the sun only gluck! ------------- bear with me.... |

Unfortunately, I was unable to change the colors in Fireworks. I am not that great at graphic design. I like the logo. I just wish that I could make all of the mountains light gray. Does anyone know of any fireworks tutorials that would show you all of the instructions on how to change colors of a graphic?

Go to the "help" section in Fireworks - look up "using Fireworks" there you will find tutorials on how to do everything. Spend a few hours and go through all the tutorials - I think you'll find what you need to know there - check the Macromedia site for help and forums.

Just a side note on the spots... Use GIF compression and not JPG. PNG is not compatiable with some browsers, although it's been around long enough it should be... JPG is a lossey format, and that's why you get spots. GIF is not lossey because it uses LZW compression. However, you can only have 256 colors in a GIF. Since the graphic will only have about 4 colors or so (white, black, orange, light grey) you are best off saving it as a GIF. JPG should be used for real world photographs and the like. Cheers
