    Change colour of white image

    Hi guys,

    I am trying to change the colour of a selection of an image - in this case a mug. So obviously, I want the mug and the mug only to change colour (and not the area inside the handle).

    The mug is white meaning I cannot adjust the hue/saturation.

    Any suggestions?!

    Thanks!

    You may try using a solid color fill set to multiply and use a layer mask.
