change a drawing color

If you use the methods above - then you don't need to get rid of the white. However if you want to :

1. In the channels panel click on the RGB channel then at the bottom load channel as selection

2. Add a layer mask hiding the selection (Layer >Layer Mask >Hide Selection)

You can now add your color overlay as a layer effect (I've added a white bottom layer so you can see it)

2. Change the blending mode to screen

Hi

Trevor's method is correct for making the dog range from pure black to red. If you want all pure red (no black in it) try this.

1. Go to the channels panel and select the red channel

2. Press Shift+F5 and fill with White

3. Done - all areas that were previously black are now pure red - just as if red ink had been used
