[MRCA] Need software to change blueprint to blackline

[Al Klase]

Hi Robert,

I figured a paint program was the way to do this, but my "professional" 
Corel Photo Paint always gave me a hard time with changing colors.

So, just discovered paint.NET (free download) 
http://graphicssoft.about.com/gi/o.htm?zi=1/XJ&zTi=1&sdn=graphicssoft&cdn=compute&tm=8&f=10&su=p504.6.342.ip_&tt=6&bt=0&bts=1&zu=http%3A//www.getpaint.net/

This started out as a black-on-white gif



Use the "recolor" tool.  It should work just as well in the other direction.

Give it a shot.

regards,
Al
