: Colorize logo images with Photoshop or paint.NET I am looking for a way to colorize images like on this page: http://pinetools.com/colorize-image You have an image with transparency, then the remaining

The colorizing website does actually a complex job. It saves the transparency ie.the alpha values stay unchanged, but the new color is an adjustable mix of original color and selected new color.

Photoshop has got a very simple to use method in another answer. Paint.NET hasn't layer styles, so the proposed method is not available there.

For Paint.NET there are available several colorizing plugins. I haven't tried all of them, only a few. Those are made for adjusting a selectable color range (=change hue, saturation, brightness or transparency). But anyway, the job can be done with them, too. An example:

A random multicolour image with transparency:



Duplicate the image layer and make the copy 50% grey. Use the curves adjustment in RGB-mode:



If no mixing with the original is needed, there's no need to make a copy. Make the original layer grey.

Colorize the grey with a plugin:



Plugin = TR's ColorizerHMS

Adjust the transparency of the colorized layer to define the mix (not asked, but surprising effects are available by changing the blending mode - well worth to try!)



Finally merge the layers if you want to fix the effect to non-adjustable.

In photoshop double click the image layer and apply color overlay. That's it.
