example - original heart shape from pack 18

 

heart shape purple

example - the heart shape has been re-colored by using an adjustment layer in Photoshop CS6 / CS5 (same for CS4 etc) - this means the heart shape design can be re-colored at any point in the creative process. Or via the image menu.

 

heart gradient

example - the heart shape design from pack 18 has now got a layer effect applied in Photoshop - the gradient overlay has transparency to apply the color only parts of the shape. Again, the shape could then be further modified by an adjustment layer as well as modified by the normal image menu commands. Added January 17th 2012
