Make Bb banner with image with colour overlay

If you would like to add a banner to your Blackboard site that has black and white images with a colour overlay, here's how to do it:

1. In Photoshop click File, New. Type the file name (Banner), and set the width to 1132, and the height to 200. These are not fixed numbers, you can choose others.
   
2. Find and image from the web or wherever that you would like to use, and save it (downloads is a nice place).
   Then in Photoshop, File, Open.
   
3. Find the image, then Open.
   
4. Set the image height to be the same as your banner height  by clicking File, Image size, height 200, OK.
   
5. Copy the image (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C)
   
6. In the banner, paste the image (Ctrl+V). It will create a new layer with that image.
   
7. Use the move tool (type the V key) and drag the image to where you would like it.
   
8. Make the image black and white (unless it is already) by clicking
   
   Image, Adjustments, Black and White.
   
9. OK
   
10. Click File, Adjustments, Photo Filter.
    
11. Pick a general colour, then a specific hue, OK. Then set the density.
    
12. Click the Type tool, choose a colour, click in the banner and type text. You can move the text by clicking and holding outside the text area and dragging.
    
13. Save the file as the default psd so that you can edit it later if you need to. Save this in your Google drive or H drive so you can always access it.
    
14. Also, save the file for the web (jpeg) so the web version can be posted in Blackboard.
    
15. In Blackboard, click Customization, Teaching Style.
    

Scroll to the very bottom of the page, Browse My Computer, choose the jpeg version of the banner, Open, Submit

Then click Announcements to see it.
