Swap Colors Effect

Use the Color Substitution Effect to swap two colors with each other during the capture process.

  You must select both the old and new colors from within the image. In this example, everything green was swapped with red.

Setup Instructions

1.   In SnagIt, select Image capture mode.

2.   Select the desired Input and Output.

3.   Select Effects down arrow > Color Substitution > Color Substitution. The Color Substitution task pane appears.

4.   Use the Old Color tool or the adjacent Color swatch to select the color to remove in the capture.

5.   Use the New Color tool or the adjacent Color swatch to select the color to replace the old color in the capture.

6.   In Color accuracy, specify the range of colors close to the Old color to include in the substitution. Select the default value of 100% to use only the exact color identified. Select a lower value to increase the range of colors for the color substitution. (In example above, 77% because the image included white was anti-aliased.)

7.   Enable the Swap colors option.

8.   When the desired Effect is achieved, click Close.

9.   Click the Capture button or press the capture hotkey. The capture is sent to the selected Output.

  To disable the Color Substitution effect, select Effects down arrow > Color Substitution > None.
