Hello Everyone! How do you get COLOR to show up in Superpaint. I have an object that I would like to make red.. but don't know how to do it. When I flip through the patterns, there is a whole section with colors, but when I pick the color - it never shows up in my document. Is it there, but just won't show until I print it? Also - it says "foreground" and "background" in two of the boxes next to the colors, but I can't figure out how to use ANY of these.

I have an object that Superpaint doesn't do interactive color. When you want to view the color, you need to do a "color preview" (cmd-K). I like Superpaint but it's NOT the thing to use for color... I use Image (FREE!!!) to do color. Ian chai@cs.ukans.edu 2fntnougat@ukanvax.bitnet

I think you cannot, since SuperPaint is BLACK and WHITE program. It does not support color on screen. But you could ask from the manufacture. ------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Heikki Jussila EARN/INTERNET: PSTL-HJ@finou.oulu.fi Reserarch Institute of Northern Finland University of Oulu telephone: + 358-81-35 3556 Linnanmaa telefax: + 358-81-35 3231 SF-90570 Oulu, Finland

As mentioned by another reader, SuperPaint is really a monochrome program. You can get a colour *preview* of your document (in version 2.0, anyway), but you must revert to mono to edit it. Chapter 17 of the manual Pp 4-249 to 4-256 has a full treatment of SuperPaint's colour capabilities. Tip: if you want different parts of a bitmap (i.e. Paint) doc to be different colours, lasso them, cut to draw, then change the colour of the object in the draw layer. -- Phil Etheridge (phil@waikato.ac.nz) Phax: +64 +71 381 155 Computer Services/Mathematics & Statistics Phone: +64 +71 568 299 x 8339 University of Waikato, Hamilton, NZ.

( At least SP 2.0 ) With a color monitor, you have "Color Preview" to choose in View menu. It shows you the colors on screen. You can't do any editing in that mode, though. With a B&W monitor, the "Color Preview" is missing completely (it's not there, even grayed). Taneli U.of Turku Finland
