Painting

Last updated 1/2/2012

Color 

Creates a result color with the luminance of the base color and the hue and saturation of the blend color. This 

preserves the gray levels in the image and is useful for coloring monochrome images and for tinting color images.

Using the Color blending mode to change the color of a shirt

Luminosity 

Creates a result color with the hue and saturation of the base color and the luminance of the blend color. 

This mode creates an inverse effect from that of the Color mode.

Web-safe colors

Web-safe colors are the 216 colors used by browsers on both the Windows and Mac OS platforms. By working only 
with these colors, you ensure that colors in art you prepare for the web display accurately in a web browser. 

You can identify web-safe colors in the Adobe Color Picker by using either of the following methods:

Select Only Web Colors in the lower-left corner of the Color Picker, and then choose any color in the Color Picker. 
When this option is selected, any color you pick is web-safe.

Choose a color in the Color Picker. If you choose a color that isn’t web-safe, an alert cube 

 appears next to the 

color rectangle in the upper-right area of the Color Picker. Click the alert cube to select the closest web-safe color. 
(If no alert cube appears, the color you chose is web-safe.)

Choosing colors

Choose a color with the Eyedropper tool

The Eyedropper tool makes it easy to copy a color without having to select a swatch. It copies, or samples, the color of 
an area in your photo to set a new foreground or background color. You can sample from the active image, from 
another open image, or from your computer’s desktop.
