Changing the color of a L.I.E item

I have a tattoo which I loaded onto a characters face. I can go into the LIE editor and move it, mirror it, make it bigger, but I cannot figure out how to change the color. It comes in black and I wanted to play around and see what it would look like as red maybe.

There is a color bar seemingly associated with this item in the LIE editor and I can select another color which applies to the color bar but it doesn't seem to have an affect on the tattoo itself. I have worked with both the Base LIE and that within the Translucency Color LIE.

Is there a way to change the color of a feature like this?

I guess you could edit the image map

Thanks for the response. I will look into that and see what I can do.

Ok. I am still not sure exactly how all these files are organized, but Gimp was able to find the specific tattoo I wanted to play with. I then changed the color in Gimp and exported it back out Then applied it back on the figure in Daz. Thanks for the info, I learned something new today. I also discovered I need to learn Gimp now to.

Changing the colour in the latyer's colour gizmo won't work as the colours are multiplied, and black (0) always yields black. One thing you could have done is add a new layer above the tattoo, give it the same maks as the tattoo (assuming it has one) and experiment with opacity and blending mode.
