Changing brush color after art drawn...NEED HELP

#1

Hi all,
I have drawn a figure using the pen tool, then adding the brush stroke with the color I picked prior (blue). Now my client wants the drawing white. How do I change the color after it is drawn?

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Did you work in layers? Do you still have the path, i.e. saved it in the path palette?

You could try the hue/saturation and increase the lightness to max. But it depends on whether you can isolate that blue stroke. Is it part of the image (merged down)? A picture would help us a lot pinning down a solution for you.

Yes I did work in layers. Each stroke of the drawing is in layers. I looked on the path tab but only see one stroke. Not sure what I am looking for

As stated above, if your layers are seperate, you can adjust the hue/saturation and since you want white, just crank the lightness slider in the Hue/Sat Window all the way to 100.

Another option…

Make a white layer on top of your existing brush stroke layers, right click the new white layer and create clipping mask. Now play with the blending mode of the layer/opacity, etc…

Another option…

Ctrl+click your brush stroke layer and it will give you a selection that you can work with.

have you tired adding simple “color overlay” effect to the layer(s)?

#6

As far as I know you can’t use a color overlay to turn a Blue stroke into a White stroke.

#7

Just use an adjustment on the layers with the drawing on it.

Thank you all for the responses. Using a white color overlay worked perfectly.

Thanks again!

I see Creeto, my apologies, “color overlay” into white works as a “Layer Style” which is an “effect”.(Normal color overlay blending modes wouldn’t do it). Nice.
