Greyscale Layer to Specified Color

[Avzlvlzv]

Hello,

Was curious if there is a way to tell Photoshop, and in a CMYK or RGB file, that I want to make all the 100% blacks in a greyscale layer a solid specified color, and all greys just percentages of that solid color? And to be able to do this without having to use spot channels or dial in CMYKs via Channel Mixer? In other words, a "one-click" method, or close to it.

Thanks for any replies!

i would say select layer then go to image> adjustment > hue stauration click the colourise box then adjust the siders to the desired colour
or create a layer on top paint in a solid colour over the desired layer and area in the layer option change the style to colour if it is not quite right then do the same as the hue saturation step to the new layer hope that helps

You can also try a selective color layer adjustment.
