Step 3: Editing colors
In the previous step you edited text color. Now
you will change color of a graphical element of
the template.
Select a layer named "news bar" with
a green horizontal stripe on it.
Select the Paint Bucket tool. This tool repaints
all pixels of similar color on a layer to match
foreground color.
Set the foreground color by clicking the upper
color selection box in the toolbox and picking
color from the orange square near company name.
With Paint Bucket tool selected, click the news
bar and watch it turn orange.
Now its time for more dramatic customization.
