Important Points from Yesterday's Photoshop Webinar

I wanted to add a few points from yesterday's webinar to the blog that I think are important. First, for the web, the image mode must be RGB and 8 bits. Otherwise you will get a box with an x through it or a broken link image. To change the mode:
  1. Click image
  2. Click Mode
  3. Click RGB 
  4. Click 8 bits per channel (if needed)
The other thing I want to mention is changing the logo. You should:
  1. Get a copy of the logo in eps format (once you have it, save it as a PSD file for future use). 
  2. Open the layers panel (windows/layers) if not already opened. Double click to the right of the image layer. 
  3. Check the color overlay option.
  4. Click to the right of the overlay option in grey area.
  5. The overlay options will appear. Double click on the red box (default color) and change to color you would like. (EX: white or #FFFFFF to change the UNHCE logo to white). 
  6. Save for future use as a PSD file and then save as a png (to keep transparency) for the web.
