Does this really work?

Hello there, folks,

I have been told that if I drag and drop any image (jpeg or png) that is 100% in grayscale inside Illustrator you can quickly recolor it just by clicking on your any color of your Swatches. I just tried to do that and it did not work. Maybe I misunderstood it, or there are more steps that I missed?

Thanks in advance.

This also works in InDesign, by the way.

Hello @aicity_323895367xtw,

Thanks for reaching out. Would you mind sharing some more details, like the exact version of the OS/Illustrator, public links to sample files after uploading them to Dropbox/Google Drive/etc., and a screen recording of your workflow and the problem (https://adobe.ly/3Uzt5Vo), as suggested by Ton, so we can investigate this further?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Anubhav
