transparent picture

Beginners

Hi

I have a simple picture ‘gear.png’ with an transparent background.
How can I change the color of the gear but not the background?
I tried the TOP Level but it also changes the background color…

kind regards

I played around a bit with the Level TOP …
And now I can change the color of the ‘gear’ (in the RGBA tab) from black to my desired color but only if I change the background to white.
If I change background color to black, the background also changes to the color I want…?

Any ideas because I need the background to be black?

kind regards

Can you post your project file and the gear image?

I would use a reorder CHOP and assign alpha to the red channel.
Now use a HSV adjust to change the color by controlling Hue Offset, Saturation Multiplier and Value Multiplier.

Alpha is unaffected.
