There are a few things you need to do in order to color a map in Photoshop. First, you need to open up your image in Photoshop.

Once your image is open, go to the “Layer” menu at the top of the screen and select “New Adjustment Layer.” A new window will pop up. From the drop-down menu, select “Hue/Saturation.”

In the Hue/Saturation window, check the “Colorize” box at the bottom. You can then use the Hue slider to change the overall color of your map.

The Saturation slider will increase or decrease the intensity of the color. The Lightness slider can be used to make your map lighter or darker.

PRO TIP: This article provides instruction on coloring a map in Photoshop. However, it is important to note that Photoshop is a complex program and coloring a map correctly can be challenging. It is recommended that you have some experience with Photoshop before attempting to color a map.

Once you’re happy with the color of your map, click “OK” to close the window. You should now see your map with its new color in the Layers panel.

If you want to add more than one color to your map, you can repeat these steps for each new color. To do this, simply create a new Adjustment Layer for each additional color. You can then use the Eraser tool to erase parts of each layer so that only certain areas are colored.

Conclusion:

Now you know how to color a map in Photoshop! Just remember to create a new Adjustment Layer for each color you want to add, and use the Eraser tool if you want to create some interesting effects.
