…It's time to start using color to…support our story and also emphasize different elements.…So, in this case, I want to remove most of…the color on the image, except for on the hill.…So, in order to do this, I'm going to add a…color fill layer and we can either use the Layer Menu…and, then come down to New Fill Layer and use…solid color or we can add this from the Layers Panel.…Now, if I hold down the option key before I…click on the adjustment layer icon, then when I select…solid color, I'll actually be able to change the blend mode.…
If I don't change the blend mode to color,…then I'm simply going to get a solid blue, which…is the color I'm going to choose, over the entire image,…but we won't actually be able to see the through.…We won't be able to see the color wash that I'm trying to create.…When I click Okay, we now just need to select…our color.…In this case, I'm going to type in 25 for red, and 30 for green, and 40 for blue.…But when I click Okay, I'm not seeing what…I was expecting so, I'll check my Layers Panel.…
