Grayscale to single color scale?

[zavalajd]

Hello,

I want to change the top image to look like the bottom image; as far as the grayscale being changed to a purple scale. I can't figure out how to do this after scouring through google searches, youtube videos and forums. Thank you for your help.

Hi Juve,

Have you applied the grayscale feature to both the images in Illustrator only? Would you mind sharing both the files so that we can check it at our end?

Regards

If I wanted to share the .ai with the forum entry or anyone in general is it up to me to find a solution such as dropbox or google drive?

Yes, that is correct.

Good to know; will note it for future cases. Thank you everyone for your help and willingness to assist!

If it is a greyscale file, you can add a fill color in Illustrator.

Somehow after toiling for a couple of hours it just worked. The custom swatch wouldn't apply when I selected it; it would remain gray. Went to lunch, came back, tried it again and it worked.
