I'm doing a project on Fahrenheit 451 in my Highschool class and I was wondering if someone could recolor this so the fire extinguisher's smoke looks like flames.




The program I use can't recolor shades of white, gray, or black.

That's because grey, black and white have no color. With no saturation, it doesn't matter what hue you give it.

Also, honestly, you'd need more than a recolor. Even if it was red and yellow, it'd look like red and yellow foam...

Can you help make it look like flames then?

Why would a fireman be spraying flames from a fire extinguisher? Is the project for your "Irony 101" class? ^____^


Jk.


If you're trying to do a hue cycle, as Rox suggests you are, then first you'll want to find a dialogue box that can cut a particular colour channel by a certain percent. Turn down red, green, or blue by like 30%, and then do the colour cycle. Wheee!

In Fahrenheit 451's world, the firemen's jobs are to burn houses. In the story, books are illegal and houses containing books are burned. The "firemen" of the story use Kerosene to burn the houses with books. I figured having a flamethrower like effect with this fireman would go good with it. Also, what type of image editor will allow that? It can't be something I have to pay to use, especially photoshop.

Actually, the houses are fireproof, they don't burn. 

Also, you need the GIMP.

There is a layer over them that's fireproof but they do infact burn houses. They must burn them from the inside or something. All the fire proof does is explain why firemen aren't needed to put OUT fires. Maybe they remove the layer first but they definitely burn houses.

I thought the main object of incineration was books. Farenheit 451: the temperature at which books burn.

You can't burn something that's fireproof.

And here I thought you were going to cut the fire out from the rest of the image and use it without the firedude.

Maybe I have to read that book now.

Is that why they can? Hell, it shows the old woman dying with her house. Obviously, it's burnable.

Everything BUT the house is burnable.  That means everything inside it goes up.  The actual house doesn't.  That means it's easily hot enough inside to kill someone.

You should read the book more carefully. It mentions quite specifically burning HOUSES down. Is anyone going to help me or not?

It's been over seven years since I read the book, but I remember them saying near the beginning that houses have been fireproof for a while.

It still talks about the houses themselves going up in flames. The fireproof is actually just a thin layer over the house. They burn it from the INSIDE. I guess you're not going to help me.

But the houses stay standing, right?

They're burning the books, not the houses.  Anyone who hasn't read the book should do so now.

You should read the beginning again because I'm reading it now in my class and it specifically states it burns books as well as the houses that contain books!

Sounds like poor writing on the author's part to me. Don't even waste your time reading it in that case.

Bah, I remember it was fairly good. Or at least I don't remember giant gaping plot holes of death like that. Our information source here in this thread isn't the greatest, after all.

Quote from teh authorities:
One evening, an alarm comes in, calling the firemen to an old house where the owner, an older woman, refuses to abandon her home. Defiantly, the woman insists on dying among her books and lights the match that eventually takes her life along with her home and all her books. During the melee, Montag steals one of the woman's books and takes it home with him that evening. Montag returns home shaken by the woman's death and nervous about his illegal acquisition.


Any English teacher would kill me using this source.

Forget it. Since nobody here was willing to help, I found a way to do it by changing intensity. I don't care that it doesn't look perfect, I doubt my teacher will complain.
