How to recolor sprites sheets with Gimp
4/26/2012, 10:19 pm
If you dont have Gimp You can download it here for free!!!!!!
http://www.gimp.org/
Here is a video version of the tutorial for those that dont like reading but I still recomend that you read the tutorial.
Step 1
Open the sprite sheet you want to recolor in Gimp
I will use Yoshi for this tutorial
Click on the "color picker tool"
Then open up another image that has the color that you want and click on the color
Once you pick the color that you want the "color box's" color will change to the one you selected
Click on the "select by color tool" button
Then you click on the color that you want to replace, and you will get a dotted outline around the color on the entire sprite sheet
Right click on the color that you want to replace then go to Edit--->Fill with FG Color
Now the color for the entire sprite sheet should have been replaced with the one that was in the "color box"

hmmm this was cool. I always used MS paint but now i wanna try this method. Also it was a pretty well explained Tutorial with good examples. Though others may not agree with me I would give you a 9/10.

This is nice because Gimp is already free.
So if you don't have Fireworks, Photoshop, etc, Gimp is a good alternate. However, GraphicsGale is also pretty nice.

So will these Gimp files (xcf's) go onto Flash CS3 (the adobe I use)? If not do I need to change them into another file? Plz respond. Thanks.

No. You have to make them PNG.
EDIT: There are a couple of other formats you could make them but PNG is arguably the best format for importing into Flash considering it handles transparency and compresses the file with very minimal loss in quality.
