USING COLOR IN PSP 7.4


This is not just color it allows you to use patterns, gradients and textures.
you can make a background for a web page click on the dots/patterns
and see it there so you can flood fill a picture frame for your graphics
or work on page sets if you need the same thing for them. It is removed when you
close it at finish but be sure if things look funny you return settings to the brush
option for full color.The gradients are fun they combine two or more colors and you
can look on the net for more if you love them but all PSP have some of everything
Gradients , presets, tubes .......it's just great to add your OWN choices.

Good Luck if you are working on your own. If I am here and you need help please ask

The color wheel is easy use when you click on the foreground color it pops up.
Once in it you will see your cusor/pointerer is a dropper. You clock it on the
Area of color you want..red/blue /so on. After you select the base color you will
want to find just the shade you want to do that you simply move to the square in the
center of the circle. You can move all over it from muted to bright, dark or light and
click when you want the color or want to see it ...it will show in the top color box
new color it will be the foreground color. if you need to save that color click on the left
add custom. it will add that color to custom colors. you can change these
FIRST you have to click on one of the tiny boxes(just click on it...it will sink in a bit)
then go to the wheel to select the color you want to save when you have the color
click Add Custom. IF you do not follow this direction you will lose whatever color i
s save to the first box it will default to box one ALWAYS!!
So tell it where you want it to go.
You may also copy/paste the html code for your colors to other documents and
things.I use this alot when I edit my web pages. Its great to get your scroll bars to
match your pages. or change text and background colors quickly.
