<h3>I have a JPEG image that needs its colors changed before I use it in an Openoffice.org file. How do I change the colors?</h3>
<p>When you open a JPEG file, OpenOffice.org displays the image toolbar just below the command bar. Once the file is open:</p>
<ol>
<li>Select: <b>Tools &gt; Eyedropper</b> from the Menu bar. It will display a floating window called <i>Eyedropper</i>.</li>
<li>Click on the uppermost top left icon, <b>Eyedropper</b>.</li>
<li>Enter a tolerance value to define how exact the color match should be. First try a tolerance of 10%. You might need to increase it for any change to be visible. A 30% value is usually effective. You can go as high as 99%, but it may pick up more area than you want.</li>
<li>Select in the image the color you want to change. In the eyedropper floating window, that color will be automatically selected.</li>
<li>Choose the new color you wish to use from the <b>Replace with...</b> drop down list.</li>
<li>Click on the <b>Replace</b> button to confirm your choice. If nothing happens, increase the tolerance.</li>
<li>To replace more colors, select another color rectangle to the left of the Eyedropper floating window, then repeat the steps from 2 to 5. Finally, confirm your choices by clicking on the <b>Replace</b> button.</li>
</ol>
