I have a customer who gave me a file that they wanted to have done for t-shirts. One of their sorority members did the file for them in photoshop (which I am not good in). I am trying to pull it into illustrator and change the colors of it so I can put the design together for them and put on a web site for them to begin ordering. I have wasted a lot of time trying to find the exact font and I can't and I can't seem to manipulate the file at all. I have never worked in photoshop, so don't know what I am doing. Anyone that can help me? I have attached the file. I just need to be able to change the pictures in the background to a color and manipulate the colors.

what is coloring for you? all what is red now for example blue? Or something else?
I am looking to get rid of the pictures in the background and make it solid red with a white outline (so it can go on a red shirt).like that?
Or make it so I can manipulate it myself.
Thanks so much!

This was vectorised in VectorMagic using a 2-colour white/blue palette then recoloured in Photoshop.
You need to start out with a high-res image with no jpg artefacts for best results.
Took only a few minutes and colours can be changed at will by altering the layer's colour overlay, or gradient overlay. Can easily be re-patterned too.

print that on opaque paper, leave the entire white background and put it on a red shirt. Problem solved that'll teach them to provide high res images!

I would also advise you to be very careful with images and greek organizations. I've had a couple of instances where we created artwork for them for us to put on shirts, we send them a proof and they take the image and go to someone else to get the shirts made.

Yes, no, maybe. From the few experiences I’ve had with this and 2 different universities it’s like this. If the university makes it a rule that you have to use a licensed printer then no matter what your printing for any of the places tied to university you need to be licensed for that university. The other university didn’t have this rule but the chapter had rules. I was able to obtain permission (get it in writing).
Your daughter in law can answer this question more accurately. I think you should get a license to print this. That's the safest way.
Sean, unfortunately, it's not that simple... Even if the chapter gives you permission to print something for them, in writing, it still may not be valid.. the chapter is using the proprietary markings of their national organization and the national organization sets the rules. In our experience, a lot of the local chapters simply do not know this or chose to ignore it. In the end, who gets stuck with a C&D or lawsuit if you violate their copyright? Not the chapter, you...
A lot of the greek organizations have Affinity Licensing handle their proprietary markings, I checked and Affinity does not show the one above in question but I did not look to see if/who does.
Anyway, my point is to the original poster, just because someone in the chapter tells you it is OK, you may still have a legal issue down the road... best to find out if they have a national chapter and if so, who handles their licensing, then proceed appropriately...

Actually I have a agreement, written by a attorney that states the person having the printing done takes responsibility, has the authority to have printed and a bunch of other legal BS. It has saved me from legal action. I printed some shirts for a race and the sponsors were on the back. There was someone that didn’t sponsor and didn’t want their logo printed. There is no way a printer can call every sponsor, know all organizations rules so this is the route I took and it held up in court and the race organizer was held responsible. Would this work if you print say Disney, NFL, NCAA, ABSOLUTELY NOT. as common sense would say that the person doesn’t have permission but say a frat house it’s feasible the house may have permission or a race organizer would have permission for sponsors. If I had to call everything did a job like that to verify shirts would be a lot more expensive.

So, getting back to the original question, have you followed up on any of the suggestions offered to remove the photographic texture and replace with a solid colour of your choosing? Or is it us who are wasting our time?
