How to Change Black and White to Any Color in Photoshop

Standard color tools can't touch pure black or white areas—they lack the hue data these methods need.

This tutorial from Photoshop Cafe shows you how to use Hue/Saturation layers with lightness tweaks to colorize any black or white element. Simple workaround, big results.

Editor's Pick

How to Enhance Dark Eyes in Photoshop Using Traditional and AI Techniques

Got eyes that look like black holes in your portraits? Standard exposure adjustments won't help—they can't reveal detail that isn't there.

This tutorial by Glyn Dewis covers two methods: traditional texture-building with classic Photoshop tools, plus a modern AI approach that generates realistic iris patterns. Both restore life to those challenging dark eyes.


Free Digital Art Print

This week’s featured artwork is Fragment Memory, a modern abstract digital wall art print created with Recraft AI. Inspired by Bauhaus and Constructivist traditions, the composition blends bold planes of teal, orange, red, and beige with intersecting circles, arcs, and fine linear elements. Painterly textures soften the geometry, creating a balance between rational design and expressive depth.

Available as a digital download — free for personal use, with an optional ultra-high resolution version in multiple crops and a full commercial license — it’s ready to print, frame, and display as a striking modernist statement piece for any space.
