Using the Colorize feature, you can apply any color to your image. The Colorize color adjustment changes every pixel of your image to a tint of the selected color.
1. Double-click to select the Colorize color adjustment in the Effects Browser.
2. Spin the button around the color wheel to choose whichever color you want to apply to your image.
3. Drag the saturation slider, or enter values manually to adjust the level of saturation.
4. Move the slider to adjust the lightness of pixels, or enter values manually into the Lightness slider value field.
5. Click OK to accept, or Cancel to reject, or the Reset button to reset changes.
The Lightness control is crucial when you need to colorize black and white pixels. Since black and white cannot hold any shades of color, the lightness slider needs to be adjusted to bring in color.
