Or what if you have a photo you would like to transpose a color palette from into another? With Photoshop, of course, it couldn’t be simpler.

If you’re on Instagram, or follow certain blogs of photographers, you’ll see that they seem to have an almost interminable stream of ‘new’ material that they garnish their sites with.
