Fortunately, a lot of people have posted good YouTube tutorials on how to do things that aren't clear. If you could point me to one that would allow editing the color of just one part of the png (like your Tub 'o Blood) I would greatly appreciate it!

(the editor I use now will change ALL colors on all parts of a png ... ) Don't know of a tutorial on that offhand. But I know two ways to do it. (a) Select the region you want (select tool), go into color tools, and use the HSV controls, or (b) Split up the image into separate parts, colorize the parts you want, and then paste the layers back together.

(b) is my preferred method; in this case, I snipped out the tub and moved it to a separate image, and colorized the remaining animated water; then split the "tub water" out into a third image, and colorized that with the same HSV settings as the animated water; then pasted the three layers back together.

IMHO, layering and alignment are the keys to being able to do GIMP tweaks, but that's probably just in the way that I use it.
