Emile, So far I have started with
def changeColor(pict,scale,color): I was told to make different names for the float and integer (float = scale and color= integer) and then I kept everything else the same, just to test it out and see if that would work. So it looks like this: def changeColor(pict,scale,color): for p in getPixels(pict): value=getRed(p) setRed(p,value*.9) Unfortunately I keep getting this error message: The error was:changeColor() takes at least 3 arguments (1 given) Inappropriate argument type. An attempt was made to call a function with a parameter of an invalid type. This means that you did something such as trying to pass a string to a method that is expecting an integer.
