Change Colors later

[Juliaha]

Is there any possibility to change the color of my brush after I painted something? Like changing all greens to a blue (without creating a new layer and changing the layer mode - everytime I do this it effects all layers, even if I group them).. feel like I'm stuck to my colors now. Would probably use a clipping mask in Photoshop. Any ideas?

Hi Juliaha,

If you tap on a layer, and from the options, choose "Lock Transparency," you can then paint over the layer with any brush, and the colors will "paint inside" the existing colored areas. This is essentially like painting with a clipping mask active.

Works perfectly, thank you so much!

This option has been removed. How do you do this now?

Hello @aj1492,

Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, lock transparency is a feature that is only found on pixel layers. Vector layers do not support this feature. To use lock transparency, you will need to first convert the layer to a pixel layer.

Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or need assistance. We'd be happy to help.

Thanks,
Anubhav
