Can you layer a Microsoft shape onto an image in Photoshop and change the color???

I'm using OS X Yosemite 10-10-1, Photoshop CC, 2014.2.1. I uploaded a shape from Word Office 2011 and layered it over my image. The symbol is blue and I want to change the color in Photoshop. I've tried but can't seem to figure out how it's done. The shape is blue.
Thank you.

Put the Word symbol on a new Word document.
Save as  .pdf
Bring into Photoshop and save as .psd. The area around the symbol will be clear.
Drag symbol layer over an image
Lock the clear area usng the symbol indicated by the red arrow shown above
Choose your replacement color
Edit > Fill with the Blending Mode set to Color
Job done.

    How can I type a word on an Image in Ps and change the background of the text box

    Photoshop doesnt have an ability to fill a text box so you will have to create a layer underneath the text layer. A shape layer work work well. That can be filled and stroked quite easily with editability.

  • Can you guide me how to mirror an image using Photoshop CS4 ME ?

    hello guys...
    as I was surfing the InDesign forum, I just found this which is exactly like the question I was about to ask, but since I read that it's not that easy to do it with InDesign, I am sure that it's doable by Photoshop, but how ???
    any way to do it ???
    thank you very much .

    Unfortunately I'm not too good for recommending good tutorials, as I'm almost 100% self-taught (experiment, try, fail, try again, succeed, that kind of thing).
    A Google search for "create mirrored image using Photoshop" does turn up a lot of tutorial content, e.g., http://www.photoshop911.com/tricks/mirror_image.html
    With Photoshop you can do anything to an image given sufficient time and effort.
    Enjoy the journey!

  • My Question is can I go to the apple store and change the color of my iPhone to a different color

    My iPhone 5s and it gold and white and I want the space gray color

    I seriously doubt that you are a time traveler so I will assume you purchased it 7 months ago, hence you are outside the return period and you can no longer do it at Apple.
    Your only alternative now is to sell it and apply the funds you raise to the purchase of the new one.

  • I can't send emails, I have tried to go to smtp and change the outgoing email username and password but it won't let me change it!

    I have tried to change the smtp username and password but I am not able to even click on the areas to change them.  Any suggestions?

    Some other thoughts .....
    Are you sure there's not an issue on the Yahoo server? Have you checked your email on a computer or via a web browser on the iPad like Safari?
    If there is no issues on the server side, the options in my mind are.....
    Delete the email account and start over
    Reset all settings>Settings>General>ResetAll Settings - you erase all settings on the iPad and start over
    Restore from a backup.
    Just wait until a little later - or tomorrow and see if you can connect again.
    If you just started experiencing this issue today, and if you are a regular iPad backup person (I do it every single day) then you can restore from a backup from yesterday, the day before or from whenever your most recent backup is dated.
    You said that you have two other accounts that will not work either so maybe resetting the settings would be the first thing to try. You should be able to at least enter the correct information again if you reset the settings.
    I mysteriously lost the ability to connect with one of my email accounts some months ago. I deleted the account and went nuts trying to add it back to the device and I could not get it to work again. I deleted it again and restored from my backup and all was good to go again. Your backups contain your email settings so when I restored from the backup, it restored the email account settings and it worked again.

  • Change the color of the outer line of a shape

    Hello I'm trying to create a rectangle with a red border and no inside fill. It's only to highlight some text of a bank form.
    I know i have to right click the layer and choose blending options and stroke. But I've tried to change the color so many times and no matter what I do, the outer line remains gray and with rounded corners.
    I want the corners of the rectangle to be squared, not rounded but I'm having a hard time changing this.
    Please help
    I'm using Photoshop CS3
    thank you
    Could anyone please show a picture of where to change the color of the outer line? I've tried everything.

    Hi,
    With Ps CS3, you'll probably want to define a Layer Style for a Stroke and then use that with the Square Shape Layers.
    This is a Stroke of 4 px, 'Centered' (so a very slight corner rounding on the outside edge. 'Inside' will give you square corners for both inside and outside edges). To change the color of the stroke, go to Layer> Layer Style> Stroke and change the color by clicking on the color bar.
    regards,
    steve 

  • Is there a simple way to change the color of a new layer?

    I draw a box, which creates a new layer, but I cannot find a way to change the color of the layer. I can easilty create a box and change the color in Fireworks but this logic or funtionality evades me in Photoshop. Perhaps I'm using the wrong program to create graphics. Should I use Design or Illustrator instead?

    If you prefer using Fireworks, use Fireworks!

  • Can't change the color of my hyperlinks

    I know this is probably a dumb question with an easy answer, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what it is. I am trying to change the color of my hyperlinks which default to white. I have tried clicking on the text inspector both with the hyperlink selected and without. I can't find any place where it allows me to change the color of hyperlinks. Any suggestions to a seemingly easy problem?

    select the hyperlink and go to the hyperlink button in the inspector (circular arrow), and both check the box 'enable as a hyperlink', choose what to link to, then click the Format tab and change the colors.

    You should be able to preview it if it was sent to the iPad as an email.
    Or you can purchase Keynote for the iPad, which knows how to open PowerPoint.

    Can you update/edit documents in Microsoft word etc on the Ipad2?

    gyrhead mentione OnLive and I find this is the best solution.  Im thinking about paying the monthly fee for it becuase its that good.  Although gyrhead is correct about the virtual keyboard, I find that using a bluetooth keyboard works great.  I use CloudOn also but find that its not a "full" version of Office...well at least Excel.  You cant create Pivot Tables and other things.

  • Can you change the color of a row in a SUD

    Is it possible to change the color in a selected row in a SUD? I have multiple tables in my SUD were the user can select multiple rows from each table. The problem is that when the user selects rows in another table the last one selected in the previous table is not hi-lighted. I thought that if I change the color of the row when selected the user can see all the selections once he/she goes to another table.
    Thanks,
    AJL

    Hi AJL,
    There is no way to color rows of the table control in a SUDialog. You could consider using the ActiveX container control and using the Microsoft ActiveX table control, which might have that functionality. Note though, that then you need to either ensure that control is always on all your client machines or make provisions for it to be installed/registered.
