Can't Paint in Color With Paint Candy 10/16/2008 11:10:01 PM If this question is in the wrong place, please direct me to the right place. I have what appears to be a black and white picture (more like a clip art), gif, saved and open in paint. I am trying to fill in areas with color, but it will only do black or white, even when I change the background and foreground colors by left and right clicking. When I check attributes, it says the attributes are in color. So, what is wrong? Is it possible to fix this so I can paint certain areas of the picture in color? I have zoomed and used the grid lines to fill in any missing grids in the outlines. Thanks in advance, Candy
