Hey again guys, can anyone please tell me how to change a line color on a black and white drawing? I just want to be able to change the line color to purple, red, blue, etc...I assume there is an easy way to do this.

also can you please tell me how to get the lines to be sharp and crisp and not look like a line drawing with all the obvious flaws that comes with a line drawing done on paper?

Thanks again in advance, you guys rock! I am slowly learning more and more. Be good and be safe!

Try Hue/Saturation (CTRL + U) to change the colour of the lines,

and maybe try the sharpen filter, to get the lines tobe sharp and crisp

First correct brightness, sharpness, etc. I recommend using Image>Adjustments>Levels. Bring the outer sliders inwards until you get the correct white balance and sharpness. Then, as Jersey Hacker mentioned, go Image>Adjustments>Hue and Saturation. Make sure Colorize is checked, then move the sliders until you find a color you like.

Yeah, that did work, once I clicked colorize and then adjusted lightness it worked exactly like I wanted it to. Thanks again, I am learning something everyday!

Be good and be safe!
