Change colors of APNGs

Quick tip for those who want to change colors of APNGs quickly without the whole process of recreating it. Publish your tour, go to your export folder, media and search for the APNG. It should be one large PNG with many different frames. Take that image into photoshop or affinity and place a color overlay on that. Then save the PNG in the same folder by overwriting the file. Publish that to your server and voilá 

Didn't want to wait until creating a tutorial about it, so just thought of sharing it quickly like this 

Of course you can go more wild on editing them all one by one little bit or whatever, but with the color overlay function you can keep it fairly easy.

Oh yes. And make sure the resolution of that APNG is not too big. Not sure yet what too big exactly is. But I've had files of 7k+ resolution causing huge loading issues on mobile. If you have this, you can take the PNG and take 50% or 25% of the resolution of it and overwrite it in the published folder.
