To change the color of an image, press Cmd/Ctrl+U to open the Hue/Saturation dialog box (Figure 1). Then move the Hue slider to change the color. Use the Saturation control to adjust color intensity, and Lightness to adjust… well, the lightness. Click on Colorize to add color to a grayscale image or to add a duotone effect to an RGB/CMYK image.

You can incrementally adjust a highlighted option box value in just about any dialog box by pressing an arrow key. Press the Up or Down Arrow key to raise or lower the value by 1. Press Shift-Up Arrow or Shift-Down Arrow to raise or lower the value by 10.

Palettes are often in the way. One method of quickly moving a palette out of the way is to send it to the edge of the screen. To do so, press Shift and click the palette’s title bar to snap the palette to the nearest edge of the screen, away from the centre of the image window.

    Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up. — Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973)
