The Replace Color tool lets you select a color and paint over that color with a different color.

Fireworks provides two different ways to replace one color with another. You can replace a color that you’ve specified in the color swatch, or you can replace a color by using the Replace Color tool directly on the image.

To replace one color with another using the color swatch:

• Select the Replace Color tool from its pop-up menu.
• In the From box in the Property inspector, click Swatch.
• Click the From color well to select the color probe, and select a color from the pop-up menu to specify the color you want to replace.
• Click the To color well in the Property inspector and select a color from the pop-up menu.
• Set the other stroke attributes in the Property inspector:
• Size sets the size of the brush tip.
• Shape sets a round or square brush tip shape.
• Tolerance determines the range of colors to replace (0 replaces only the To color; 255 replaces all colors similar to the To color).
• Strength determines how much of the Change color is replaced.
• Colorize replaces the Change color with the To color. Deselect Colorize to tint the Change color with the To color, leaving some of the Change color intact.
• Drag the tool over the color you want to replace.

To replace one color with another by selecting a color on the image:

• Select the Replace Color tool from its pop-up menu.
• In the From box in the Property inspector, click Image.
• Click the To color well in the Property inspector to select the color probe, then select a color from the pop-up menu.
• Set the other stroke attributes in the Property inspector:
• Size sets the size of the brush tip.
• Shape sets a round or square brush tip shape.
• Tolerance determines the range of colors to replace (0 replaces only the To color; 255 replaces all colors similar to the To color).

• Strength determines how much of the Change color is replaced.
• Colorize replaces the From color with the To color. Deselect Colorize to tint the From color with the To color, leaving some of the From color intact.
• Using the tool, click down on a section of the bitmap image that contains the color you want to replace. Without lifting the tool, continue to brush across the image with it. The color that you clicked down on when you initiated the brushing action will be replaced by the color you’ve specified in the To color well.

Graphic Tutorial Retouching bitmaps

Fireworks provides a wide range of tools to help you retouch your images. You can alter an image’s size, reduce or sharpen its focus, or copy and "stamp" a part of it to another area.

tutorial : Understanding Ambient Color and Light for 3ds

Ambient light is used to simulate indirect light, such as the atmospheric light that permeates outdoor scenes. It may also be used to simulate radiosity, which is the color that bounces off brightly colored objects.

Ambient color controls the color of objects in areas of shadow, whenever ambient light is present. Generally, you do not see any effect when you change the ambient color of a material, because ambient lighting is turned off by default.

To see the effect of ambient color in a scene, you must create an ambient light source. You can either create lights that are set to Ambient Only in order to create a localized effect, or use the Environment dialog to affect an entire scene.

Set up the lesson:

• Continue from the previous lesson.

Adjust the ambient light and color:

• In the Material Editor, choose the beige putty material in the upper-right material sample.
• Change the Ambient color of the beige putty material to a bright shade of purple.
• The color of the scene does not change.
• Choose Rendering > Environment. The Environment dialog appears.
• Click the Ambient color swatch. In the Color Selector, change the Ambient color to a medium shade of gray. Then close the Color Selector and the Environment dialog.
• The materials brighten in direct proportion to the brightness of the Ambient color. The beige putty objects in the scene turn purple.
• Activate the slot containing myorange material.
• Click the lock button to the left of the Ambient and Diffuse colors to unlock them. Then change the Ambient color from orange to a bright green.

Watch the viewport and notice the orange turns bright green.

Graphics Tutorial : Grouping objects

When you group two or more objects, they are treated as a single unit. This lets you apply the same formatting, properties, and other changes to all the objects within the group at the same time. CorelDRAW also lets you group other groups to create nested groups.

You can also add and remove objects to and from a group and delete objects that are members of a group. If you want to edit a single object in a group, you can ungroup the objects.

Single objects retain their attributes when they are grouped.

Creating PowerClip objects in Corel

CorelDRAW lets you place vector objects and bitmaps, such as photos, inside other objects, or containers. A container can be any object, for example artistic text or a rectangle. When you place an object into a container that is larger than the container, the object, called the content, is cropped to fit the form of the container. This creates a PowerClip object.
You can create more complex PowerClip objects by placing one PowerClip object inside another PowerClip object to produce a nested PowerClip object. You can also copy the contents of one PowerClip object to another PowerClip object.

After you create a PowerClip object you can modify the content and the container. For example, you can lock the content, so that when you move the container, the content moves with it. CorelDRAW also lets you extract the content from a PowerClip object, so that you can delete the content or modify it without affecting the container.

Corel : Skewing and stretching objects

You can skew and stretch objects in CorelDRAW. When you skew an object, you specify the degree by which you want to slant the object. Stretching changes an object’s vertical and horizontal dimensions non proportionally.

CorelDRAW also lets you change the skew and sizing anchor point of an object from its default center position.

Drawing rectangles and squares for Corel

CorelDRAW lets you draw rectangles and squares. You can draw a rectangle or square by dragging diagonally or draw a rectangle by specifying the width and height. After you draw a rectangle or square, you can reshape it by rounding one or more of its corners.

You can create a rectangle by drawing its baseline first and then its height.
