I have 28 images, each of which has 3 sizes (84 in total), which are monochrome with different alpha layers to create each image. I want to make each of them available in 5 different colors. it will be 420 images. Obviously, it will be a huge pain to do it manually. I don't have Photoshop, so any type of photoshop function is not a valid answer. I have Paint.NET, but adjusting the hue does not work for me, because changing the hue alone does not give me the colors I want.
Basically, I need to do for each pixel in the image, take the RGBA value and replace the RGB with the new RGB value and keep the same value A.
Does anyone know how to do this? I was not lucky to find on StackOverflow or Google (possibly using the wrong search terms).
I would prefer an answer in C # or VB.NET, but if anyone knows how to do this in any language, maybe I can apply it to C # or VB.NET.
- Edit -
In case someone finds this and is looking for an answer, here is what I got based on the link from Yorye Nathan.
