Not sure if you guys know how to use action in Photoshop. But I have this saved in my HD so, I might as well share it with everyone. Basically, with the action file, you can just click a button and get the coloring effect on your image. I use action all the time when making icons..it's faster and easier. I have a short tutorial HERE on how you can use this action file. Trust me, once you start using it, you'll get addicted ;)
