It's been a while since i've posted here.. but I have a dilemma that I need some help with. OK, I am making a site for a client - they are selling certain products.. Let's say that I have this sweet background image that resembles wood. I have these product images come up when the user first hits the home page - (I am using flash) & then I want these images to blend into the background ( the wood) - but with slightly darker features so as to stand out.... to look like slightly darker wood themselves. I hope this makes sense.

So I have an image full of colors... how do I make all of these colors shift to a brown-like color scale, similar to how they shift to the greyscale... please help ASAP. thanks.

Hey whoknows361.

You should remember that in Flash 8, making your "buttons" mc's and giving them a blend filter works just as well, with half the cost in file size. The two programs (Photoshop and Flash) compliment each other awesomly.

Oh, and setting the opacity to 30% with a grey tint of 50% (in the advanced selection panel in Flash) also works great when tweened bach to normal colour.

Happy designing.
