: How to change border color of this image in Photoshop? I have a button image in a PSD file. The image is in single layer. I want to change the color of the border to a bright green color.

Here is a picture of the problem I have adressed (repeatedly) in the comments, which I believe to be the biggest issue for recoloring:



I still think recreating the rounded rectangle plus adding border is the best way to go. The original gradient can still be used as a texture for the button. Only the drop shadow has to be recreated as well.

I'm not sure why people are telling you it can't be recolored because it can be. The quality of the image and its alignment has nothing to do with whether or not it can be recolored.


Select the inside square.
Shift+Select (add a second selection) for the area completely outside of the shape
Inverse selection - now only the outter border should be selected
Copy+Paste so that the border is duplicated onto its own layer
Layer > Style > Color or Gradient Overlay depending on what you're trying to do.


To answer how the dark color shade happened in the lower portion of this button it by using Bevel/Emboss options on probably a duplicated layer so that the original creator had more control over the opacity. That is found by creating say a rounded rectangle as in this example and going to layer > style> bevel/emboss.
