This is a simple technique to change the color of digital papers or other digital elements using the Colorize feature in GIMP. It is ideal for anyone interested in digital scrapbooking who wants to quickly change the color of digital papers to allow them to use them in different ways.

Another simple technique to change the color of digital papers is explained in this tutorial on the Hue-Saturation feature in GIMP. Where these two techniques vary is that Colorize produces a monotone result, whereas Hue-Saturation shifts the values of all colors equally so that the result will contain the same number of colors as before the adjustment was applied, though obviously they will be different colors.
