Hi,

I have a layer of scanned in paper. Im using it for the texture and shape. The paper is white but I would like it to be a shade of sky blue. How would I go about just changing that layers color.

Thanks for the help!

make an adjustment layer that you can fiddle with any way you wish w/o altering the colour of the original image. Just save out the result you want into another file.

i just found out that i can add a color overlay as an effect with different opacities to the layer and it worked great! thanks for the advice.
