I am following a tutorial. I have a gradient that I should like to see in a layer. It has however to be in colour – honestly I have worked on it till I have a nice blue colour in my face.

I cannot get anything but a monochrome even though I have seen that there is a possibility to make a layer a colour rather than just black and white. When setting the choice to anything but gray, it still comes up in quite a nice mono. 🙂

I am at the moment working in Photoshop 7.0

Go to Image>Mode. Are you working in Grayscale? Change to RGB or CMYK.

Thanks a lot. I just noticed that the program started up in colour – that is the foreground and background were some horrible colours, right until I selected a new file – it then went into mono mode. Then I spotted the MODE just after the size – it was in greyscale. There is no idiots like an old idiot.
Mainly I have managed to sort out photos and when you load one of those, you are automatically in Colour.

But thanks again

Just to be clear, when you open existing files, they will be in whatever color mode they were saved in.
