I was wondering if anyone could explain to me how to change the color in this black box to yellow.

Thanks!!

Something simple like that you can just fill with the paint bucket tool. Now, if it was something more complex with other colors around it, you'd have to use your selection tools to define it. Then you could use the paint bucket, and/or use the Image --> Adjustments --> Color Balance or Hue/Saturation to make alterations.

There is 2 ways to change the color :

1. go to Image --> Adjustments --> Color Balance or Hue/Saturation or you can use shortcut Ctrl + U, then tick the colorize box. You can make alterations in there.

or

2. double click on the layer or right click on the layer and choose blending option. Tick the overlay box, and you can change the color with anything you want.

For example...if serandfae's avatar randomly got angry, you could use hu / saturation to make him red.

But if he would get really angry, why are his ears disappearing also?!

There's several ways. You can use the 'magic wand' to select it, then make a new layer and use pain bucket to fill in the shape. Delete the original layer and you have a clean shape.

Or you can choose 'variations' and alter it that way.

Personally I'd use the paint bucket way, as its very simple.

Why be complicated? heh ;P
