Undo?

Or go back in the history to before you desaturated the image.

If you have saved the file, you are out of luck. Color lost cannot be recovered.

I didn´t desaturate a single picture. If I open older color pics they are grey. Whithout I did them singulary. Pantone colors in the color picker are grey. What´s that?

You aren’t in grayscale mode, are you? Go Image>Mode and change to RGB.

If the image is in RGB, then you should be able to see Pantone colors correctly. It isn’t a monitor problem, is it? In other words, you have color in the blue bar at the top of the program and such.

If it isn’t that, I’m stumped. You will have to wait for someone else to come up with other ideas.

If it isn’t the RGB thing then maybe you’ve selected a colour channel by mistake

Ctrl 2 – all colours
Ctrl 3 – red
Ctrl 4 – Blue
Ctrl 5 – Green

Try Ctrl 2 to reset it

The blue bar´s blue is the only color of the program. The other applications seem to work correct. Sorry, in "Select" -> "colar range" I find colors too.

Proof colors set to some grayscale space? Tap Ctrl+Y.
