Following tutorials, setColor affecting image???

[ShadowProtocol]

Hi, I'm following the tutorials in the order I think they are most beneficial:
-Getting Started
-Callback Functions
-Drawing Order
-Fonts and Text
-Image Loading, Key Movement (Hamster Ball)
-Using Input

I am on callback functions now, and the example for the love.load() function is:

Code: Select all

image = love.graphics.newImage("bluesquare.png")
	local f = love.graphics.newFont(12)
	love.graphics.setFont(f)
	love.graphics.setColor(0, 0, 0, 255)
	love.graphics.setBackgroundColor(255, 255, 255)

Why is setColor affecting the way my image is drawn? How do you color text without affecting everything else?

See love.graphics.setColorMode.

Or you can just set the color to white if you want your images in their normal color (255, 255, 255, 255 is fully opaque white).
