Color is the spice of life, and being able to change the color of patterned designs you use in your business campaign will add flare to your marketing materials. While changing the color of patterned designs used in these designs may seem like a lot of arduous work initially, Photoshop can be used to make the task at hand a cinch. Instead of building the pattern from scratch, use Photoshop to change the color of the pattern by overlaying another color over the top.
