I have a president of the united states seal in color vector in Corel and want it in B/w for engraving. Besides going in and manually changing all the colors, is there an easy way to convert it?

Not sure why that's an issue, can't you just select all the items at once and change the color to black? Maybe I'm not understanding. Perhaps you could post the file and we could see how it could best be done.

It is in color, I need it in Black and White, thought there was an easy way to do it.

Converted to a bitmap (TIFF) and then traced it in Inkscape.

P.O.S. does, of course, stand for President Of States. No politics here.

Or this one. You're right, it's a pain.

Bill that looks awesome, thanks so much. I didn't mean for anybody to do it, I thought somebody just knew how to change the colors, thanks so much!
