Hi, I'm new to this forum, not new to photoshop but a very amateur user of it.
What I am trying to do is take a colour image, convert it to black & white and then add back some selective colour to parts of the image, its a technique I've seen but cannot do. I have converted the image to B&W using an adjustment layer and a gradient map and that seems to work OK but I'm lost from there.
All help very welcome

I take it you mean a Gradient Map adjustment layer. If that's the case, target the layer mask of the adjustment layer, pick an appropriately sized brush and paint in black, over the parts that you want the colour restored. If you make a mistake, or overpaint an edge, switch the colour to white and go over the mistake. |

If you search this forum for black white color you'll get jits..
an easy way is to simply paint the colored image with a black broush set to color mode. Everything you paint will turn B/W.

flatten the layer, duplicate it and convert the top layer to black and white. then erase anything you want in colour. sd long as the B+W layer is at the top youll get the colour showing through.
Just another way of doing it...
