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.

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.
