The first step for me was to settle on a color theme for my PBase site text. One approach is to use the existing color theme from your CSS template. I used HTML color definitions i.e. FFCC01, however PhotoShop has several ways to choose a color. I recommend thinking about your theme ahead of time or experiment with a few variations before committing. This process can be executed relatively quickly, but if you are creating a large number of banners as I did, changing later can be a labor intensive operation. Another note I would like to make at this point is about saving your work. I strongly recommend saving your PhotoShop files at several stages in PSD format along the way to producing your jpeg for web viewing. This will save you an incredible amount of time later on, trust me! Inevitably you will find a small mistake or wish to make a color adjustment; having saved your work preserving all PhotoShop layers is essential to making reasonably quick fix’s later
