: How to change color of an image in Illustrator When I open an image in Photoshop, I can easily change the color by double clicking on the layer and adding color overlay. How can I do the

@Kimberly620

Its a bit futile to think of illustrator in the same way as Photoshop. They work differently. The concept of layers in illustrator, is a totally different way of looking at the world.

Anyway do this:


Select the layer. Use the round thing next to the layer name, this selects the layer object. Selecting name activates layer, that is a different thing.



Image 1: Select the layer object (round box next  to name)
In the Appearances panel click add new fill (and possibly stroke or expand it with a pathfinder effect)



Image 2: Add new fill
Make the fill the color you want.


NOTE:

Odds are you just want to select all objects and apply a color. Instead of bothering with arcane appearance settings that hardly anybody understands.
