I have a design in .psd format. It is using various layers and diffrent settings for opacity. I am using Photoshop CS3. How can I get background color of the layer. One way is to use in-build Color Palette utility but that doesn't suits me. I want a way by which I can get exact Brush that is used for the background. It may or may not have Gradients.
Not that this is programming related, but use the eye-dropper tool.

Once the color is placed into your "foreground color" box, click the box and it will show you the color in RGB, Hex, and pretty much any other way you can display a color value.

Trying to understand how to make component sets and use variance to make designing more simplified. I have a tile that has an icon on the right that I want to be able to change both what type of icon it is as well as its colour. Is there a way to create the two-component properties using variance? Do all the icons need to be grouped by color and do I need to adjust their naming conventions (still not to sure how that works as well)h
There is a more efficient way to do this, by taking advantage of Color Styles. With this method, you only have to create your icons once, and no need for variants. Color Style swapping will handle that.
Create your icon components, but using a boring black color. Avoid creating variants of the icons, if it's only the fill color that's changing.
Instead create a standard set of Color Styles for your icons.
Your designers then, could place an instance of a black icon from your library. Then use the Selection Panel to replace the black color with one of your defined color styles.
I've made a simple shape editor. I can change colors (used to fill shapes) by click on buttons in a menu bar. The disadvangate of this solving is the fact that the numbers of colors are so restricted. I can't find a better solution for my program. Can somebody help me and give me an idea how can I improve it? I thought about color palette, but I have no idea how can I do this.

("Aktywny kolor" means active colors, and there is the list of colors below, which I can use)
You would need to use a color picker where the colors are distributed on many pixels and not on a very small set of color names. Since you are using applet, you might want to download an already made color picker compatible with your environment, or you might want to write your own, depending on whether the things you find meet your expectations.
I need to draw a diagram with different colors. Therefore I would like to have one layer per color.
When I add a layer that contains only a rectangular filled with a color above a layer with a white drawing on a black background. Then I can use the "Blend mode" multiply and the white drawing is colorized.
Is it also possible to just colorize everything in a layer that is black?
I don't think there'll be any GUI-based solution lighter than the one you have.
But since you are in StackOverflow, you can probably code. Then you could use a script with a text file parser (such as sed) to modify the colour of desired elements in the svg file.
I have a set of blue icons in sprite png, is there an easy way to change the color of each icon using a tool like Paint.net
What I've tried so far is changing pixels color one by one, but it's really troublesome
I've juste found an answer : https://stackoverflow.com/a/6059779/288387
Use Photoshop, Paint.NET or similar software and adjust Hue.
You can use Photoshop to swap certain colors with colors of your choice. This way, you have more control, as you can replace each shade separately.
I'm trying to make an header in Photoshop but I want the image I use to only have two base colors.
Just like:
How do I make this happen? And is it possible to just adjust one layer?
Basics is use hue/saturation in Image>Adjustment>hue/saturation tick the colorise in the bottom and enjoy colouring
