Also, if you alt double click on the layer it will change to a layer without opening any dialog box.

I personally find it very valuable. The people are polite and helpful. I feel that you making a blanket statement without any reasons shows that you are right that this place is not for you.

But, the layer mask gives you more flexibility to touch up. The editing is non-destructive when using a layer mask.

Hi,

1)Duplicate the layer.
2)Desaturate the new layer
3)Create a mask on the new layer
4)Click on the mask
5)Select the brush. Change the color to black.
6)Feather the brush (This hides the hard edges as you brush).
7)Brush on the object or person you want to color. Since the brush is black this will hide the black and white pixels on the new layer, which reveals the colored pixels on the bottom layer.

Oh, by the way pick the color you want while in the color overlay menu

Or

1) Create a layer style on the drawing layer.
2)Check the color overlay box
3)Set the blend mode to screen while in the color overlay menu
4)Click on the blending options custom at the top just below the word styles
5)Check the box that says blend interior effects as a group

Hi,

Would the following help?

1)Creating a duplicate of you drawing layer
2) Ctrl click the layer in the layer palette
3) Fill the selection with your color
4) Hide the initial layer
