Hey Emile! Thanks for the advice. I think maybe I should have combined the two parts of my email. The function is just called changeColor. I don't actually want to change the color as much as alter the color. I'm working off of this example:
def decreaseRed(picture): for p in getPixels(picture): value=getRed(p) setRed(p,value*0.5) Except for me, I am asked to also make the argument so that it accepts an integer and a float. Not sure how to assign different colors and do that.
