Hi. I have a color picture. What I want to do is change the color scale of the picture.

You know how you have a gray scale picture? The picture is all gray, but of varying shades? I want to do that with my picture. Except I don't want it to be gray. I want it to be blue.

Does anyone know how I can take a color picture and make it a blue-scale picture?

I am not a proficient user of Photoshop.

By the way, I use Photoshop 6.

Thanks for your help.

Assuming your image is in RGB colour space.

Image>Mode>Greyscale

Image>Mode>Duotone.

or you could add a Hue and Saturation Adjustment layer or a millon variants (well, perhaps three more ;))

Yes. That works great!

As for the second where you suggest a saturation layer, you basically mean make a picture gray scale and add another layer on top of it with color and decrease the opacity so the grayscale picture shows through?

Just want to be sure of that second one. Your first suggestion does the trick, however. The more tricks in your bag the better.
