Changing the colour on a saved design of brushes and layers.

i have created a wedding invite design of brushes (coloured damask brush with white background) and layers and now i want to know if it is possible to change the colour of the damask brushes and writing? so i don't have to create a new one every time and print 100's drafts to make sure it's in the right place for folding. i want to learn so i can just change the colour to whatever and then it's ready to save as a new document. i have P4. Please help me x​

you will need to compress the psd before attaching

Sorry I do not understand your question "damask brush"? anyone else have a clue

 

[ljpd80]

sorry im not explaining myself well. I have used some brushes to create a wedding invite (damask fancy french pattern) and i have them all in place as i want to print- but want to know if i can just change the colour of the all the brushes places on my page. I have now compressed the image. don't know if it will work!

Use a hue/saturation adjustment layer set to colorize.

Go to Select|Color Range and use the eyedropper tool to select the black on the image.
Play with the sliders to get a good selection.

As hawkeye suggested, open a hue/saturation adjustment layer and set it to colorize.
If you do this with a black selection raise the lightness slider a little and then start moving the sliders around to get the color you want.
