Tip #33: Change Photo

(Photoshop 7)

OK, let's say you have a descent photo and you want to
place it on the web.
The problem is that you already have too much gray on
your site, so what do
you do now? Simple we change the background color
of your photo.
First you take your trusty Magic Wand tool (no kidding,
that really is what it's
called); found on the right hand side of the tool bar (the
second tool down) and
click on the background.
Now go to the menu bar (the one that runs across the
top), go to Image (third
item from the left) down to Adjustments, then over and
down to Hue/Saturation.
This will bring up the Hue/Saturation dialog box.
Make sure you check the small
box on the right side that says: "Colorize". See
the red check mark above.
Once that box is checked the Saturation bar will
automatically go down to 25 and
the Hue bar will go down to 0. All you have to worry
about is the Hue slider bar
which is the one on the top. Just slide the bar from
left to right to see the changes.
Go slowly until you find the color you like. You
will be able to see the results in
real time so you can judge which setting looks best for
your particular photo.
When you found the color you like, deselect the image by
going back up to the
menu bar go over to Select (5th over from the left) and
go down to deselect.
Don't forget to save your new image under a new name if you
want to be able
to use the original in a different project later on.
