Research has, for instance, led many employers to use a green color scheme in the workplace, as there is evidence to suggest that this results in less absenteeism through illness. At the University of Iowa, Hawkeye Coach Hayden Fry had the locker room used by visiting teams painted pink, on the basis of research that showed pink surroundings have the effect of reducing aggression!

Whether or not we—or indeed they—are aware of it, visitors to our Web sites, too, will make assumptions about the nature, quality, reliability, and value of our products or services as a result of the colors we use.

Use any of the brushes available, and you may need to find patterns and images to apply in the background to get the same effects. Set their layer blend modes so the images you choose do not stand out more than the main part of the image.

Hatch and Fowler prints style uses no more than 4 colors and shades of those colors. If you use photos, be sure to apply Adjustments to Threshold or other way to reduce the image to the four colors you choose.

Vertical Photo Panels are yet another creative way to use digital photos. You could use them for holiday cards or other type of photo journal.

Split Toning is a photo aging process. It gives images a more artistic look to use for websites or other type of imagery that you may not want too much color. Color can detract from an overall presentation and sometimes images that are not just color photos can draw more attention to themselves.
