Hi Guys..
Its a long story so here's the short one.
I have photoshop opened up and I've put in a black and white photo I want to colour lets say a mans shirt in blue.
I've pressed duplicate bottom right, then on the the left side I have clicked on paint brush, then size and flow. I make the changes I want and rename the file and save.
The problem I have is I load another photo the two boxes on the left hand side have changed to black and white but whatever I click I cant get them to change to colour then an hour later it changes to colour then off I go again. I seem to be following the instructions but getting nowhere!!
Question. What am I doing wrong to change the colour of the little boxes from black and white to colour.
Even the colour swatches route dont change things..

Hope that makes sense..
 
Your in greyscale on one layer (at least) you need to be in image/mode/RGB to be able to colour a layer.
