In Photoshop you can do this with the Channel Mixer. I don't know what the actual process is called though... Channel mixing? :)

Thanks edit and jimbo

I think that is it. Is it difficult?

I have to find a tutorial.

Check out number 8: [google.com...]

That's for PS. I've never really used Paint Shop Pro - but I expect it would be similar.

I call it colorize or monotone. You will find this most common with people creating images in sepia tone to give it that old fashion black and white look. There are many ways to do it. If you have photoshop the easiest way is to go to hue saturation and tick the colorize checkbox. Then adjust the hue saturation to the color that is desired.

Greyscale is even easier by changing the color format from rgb to greyscale.

Can you better explain what you are trying to do. In most image editors you wil be able to numerically remove or add colour. doing this in RGB will give you the effect I think you are after.

In fireworks you can alter the colour levels and the hue on sliding and numeric scales. PS has a similar feature

added a moment after korkus :)

You lot are fast :)

The problem, with that method korkus (as in link) is you only have a slider for hue and sat. I would like to apply an rgb value so that the colour matched that of other aspects of my site.

Does that make sense, i hope it does.

In photoshop change mode to rgb then go to image > adjustments > variations

another way to build/remove colour gradually

The way I would take a stab at this is the same way jimbo_mac just said - get into the variations menu. You'll just have to go by trial and error though - it doesn't let you insert an RGB value to aim for. But you should be able to see when it (more or less) matches.

thanks all

I suppose what I want can be done in photoshop easily.
