If you are still looking for a 2012 calendar to customize, I have one here!
I like to keep year-at-a-glance calendar by my computer. And it’s another excuse to display a photo.
This template is a tiff file that you can use in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. Add your own photo and print!

I hope you liked yesterday’s free download. If you haven’t already seen it, get it here.
Today, I have a quick tutorial on how to customize those overlays as I did in this layout:

As you can see, I recoloured the herringbone design to brown and off-white. I used a houndstooth design and recoloured it with orange and brown.
I use Photoshop CS5, so my instructions are specific to this program.
If you would like to recolour the black part of a design, you create a new layer (Mac: Command+Shift+N, PC: Control+Shift+N) and use the paint bucket tool (G) to cover the entire layer with your desired colour. Then, change the blending mode to lighten, as seen below.

To recolour the white part of a design, you follow the same steps, except you change the blending mode to darken, as seen below.

That’s it! Easy peasy
