Simple need, I think, but I forget how to do it.
I scanned a typed letter, black letters on a white background. It is now a PSD file, with the whole thing as a background layer.
I want to color the background yellow, to simulate an old manuscript. How?

Nothing wrong although changing the background layer to layer 0 really makes no difference.
You could also use the opacity slider for a more subtle color, as required.
If you want to experiment with different colors simply double-click on the color thumbnail on the fill layer.
I think Jeff also added a pattern layer to give some texture but that’s optional.
