Paint Shop Pro Tutorial – Selective Coloring
This is an easy way in Paint Shop Pro to select one particular area of a graphic to re-color. As mentioned in my previous post, “Photo Expressions word art” you can recolor it easily by using the selection tool (S) in PSP. This tutorial was written in PSP X2
Free Trial - Corel Paint Shop Photo Pro X3
Begin by opening a graphic image (my word art) in PSP …
Choose the selection tool (S) | rectangle | replace | feather 0 | Anti-alias checked
left click and drag out a selection around the part you want to change.
left click on the color area within the selection to get ‘marching ants’ around the word |  |
 | Open the colorize tool (Shift + L) - adjust settings to change the color |
or use the Color Replacer Tool (in the tools menu) to paint your chosen foreground color onto the selection |  |
 | you can even select individual letters to recolor |
or use the Freehand Selection Tool to click & draw around irregular shapes that do not fit inside a rectangle |  |
 | proceed as instructed above. |
Hope you learned something new! Be creative, have fun!

I never used paint shop pro. I thought about getting that program once but I stuck with my photoshop elements.
Ann, PS Elements is a great program too! Whatever you're used to, will keep you creating, and is fun ... that's the one for you. I started using PSP eleven years ago, so it's what I know best.
