Question
Hi,

I have successfully created few banners etc but now I am trying to prepare a little recruitment advert for the website; few images and a text;

For some reason when I am trying to move images - they are all in colour and I changed their sizes, they all change to black and white on the white background! I want to keep them in colour- I was trying using magic wand and just selecting, copying and pasting but nothing seam to work!

Also, I have put some text and I was trying to do a heading- so I added another text layer- but I cannot change colour of the text there??!!

Help!

Answer
Hi Agnes,

Make sure the document you are moving the images to is in a color mode. Go to Image>Mode and select RGB. You may also check the Channel Palette to make sure all the channels are visible.

When you set type, select all the type and click in the small color swatch on the top toolbar, it is between the paragraph format options and create warped text icon. This is where you change your text color.

Hope this helps,
