If you are doing this on the blank layer (Layer 1 in example) you can leave the Blending Mode and Opacity values to their "Normal" and 100% defaults since the layer's values override these. In the Fill dialog (shown in the example) select Foreground Color. Instead of painting you can select the car and do Edit > Fill. Click on this to bring up the Color Picker where you select your color (blue in my example). Next to it is the Opacity (default 100%) where you can lower the value to lighten the color. The purple arrow is the Blending Mode pull-down list (default "Normal") and within this list select "Color". The green arrow is the icon in the Layers Palette to add a new blank layer. Keep in mind that we have different PSEversions so things will look a bit different but the steps should be the same. Here is a snapshot showing everything I talked about and hopefully it answers you questions. I have been trying to figure this out for days. I definitely do not have a "brush" option, so I can figure out what I am supposed to use to "paint away."Ĭan you still help with a step-by-step? I would be most grateful. I think I am supposed to have both layers checked to show, but have the new later highlighted?ĭon't I have to select out the area I want to color? Right now, if I try to color at all, nothing happens and then when I click out of the "brush" the whole pictures goes to a different color. Am I supposed to have the new layer checked when I do this? If so, there is nothing there, just the checkerboard background. but no "blend.) There is also a choice for opacity. I did LayerNew, and I have the choice in the top left of the window to select "Mode" but none of them is "blend." (the list includes things like solid, lighten color, dissolve, etc. I have PE6, but the way, as a starting point. Thank you VERY MUCH for haning in here with me a bit.
