I occasionally get a monochromatic image, e.g., something in shades of blue that I’d like to change the base color to *exactly* match some key color in another image.

My thought is I’d change the image to black and white, then apply a Tint, but Photoshop CS3 doesn’t allow specifying the Tint using RGB values but provides a tint slider instead.

Is there a way to color the image with a specific RGB value?

Choose an RGB value as your foreground color, then use Edit->Fill. In the Fill dialog. choose Mode: Color. Easy!

Define a duotone using your desired RGB value, and apply it to your grayscale image.

Use the color sampler tool. It’s with the eyedropper. Find a reference point on the image (like something that would be gray if it wasn’t tinted blue in your example). Click there with the sampler tool. The Info window will now show the RGB values for that spot. Make an adjustment layer for color balance or levels or curves or whatever, and you’ll see the new value in the Info window, next to the old value.
