How Do I Change White to Black in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 11:39 am

Have you ever wanted to change the color of an image in Photoshop? Maybe you have a white background that you want to make black, or vice versa. Whatever the case may be, it’s actually pretty easy to do with the help of the “Invert” tool.

To start, open your image in Photoshop. Then, go to the “Image” menu at the top of the screen and select “Adjustments.”

From there, choose “Invert.” This will switch all the light colors to dark and all the dark colors to light.

PRO TIP: Warning:

Changing the color of an image in Photoshop can be tricky. If you’re not careful, you may end up with an image that looks unnatural or has strange color artifacts.

If you want to change only the background color, there’s a couple of different ways you can do that. One is to use the “Magic Wand” tool and click on the area you want to change. Then, go back to the “Image” menu, select “Adjustments,” and choose “Invert” again.

Another way to change just the background color is to create a new layer. First, click on the “Create a new layer” icon at the bottom of the Layers panel.

Then, use the Paint Bucket tool to fill that layer with black. Next, go to the “Layer” menu and select “Create Clipping Mask.” This will make it so that only the area within your original image is affected by the color change.

Once you’ve made your changes, don’t forget to save your image!
