Hello,

I am new to Photoshop, and I am just trying to change the background color on a lightbulb icon image (PNG file). I have tried following some of the steps that individuals have posted online, but nothing seems to work. The lighbulb icon is white on top of a teal background. I have tried attaching the file with my comment, but it isn't attaching for some reason.

Thank you!

The link you posted is for a vector image with highlights and a gradient, not a solid color. If your image is also vector, open it in Illustrator, use Recolor Artwork, link the colors so they change as a unit, and drag the hue slider to change the color.

Try attaching your image again. Use the Insert Image button in a Reply window. Do you have it in vector or only raster?

Post the png does it currently have a colored background, an image background, an empty background, a gradient background? Basically you select the background area and fill the selection with the background you want. If the current png has an empty background you add a background under the existing layer.
