Have you ever wanted to change the color of the gray background color used by Photoshop, the area that surrounds the photo that you are working on? You can. Here's how.
Open any photo in Photoshop and expand the window so that you can see the gray area. Click and open the color pallet, the foreground-background color box
on the lower left under the tools pallet. Select the color you want. Select the paint bucket from the tools pallet. Hold down the shift key, move the paint bucket to the gray area and click. This will give you a different look to your photo. It may even help with choosing a matte for your print. Now to get it back to gray, open the color pallet again, but this time, where it says R, G, B, enter the number 192 in each box to return to the Photoshop gray. Hold down the shift key and click the area again.
