 |
|
Hi I have been learning how to pop colour via the Photoshop video tutorial I thought I had mastered how to do it and was successfully completing this task on different photos over the last fortnight.
Last night I went to change a photo and no matter how I tried could not do it. I have reviewed the instructions of the video and I seem to be following them correct, but the photo remains black and white - I have noticed that when exploring what I have done wrong that I get a message that the layer is partially locked?
Does anyone know what I have done wrong and how to undo my stupidity?
Many thanks in advance. |

Without knowing exactly what you have been doing it's impossible to say if you're doing something wrong. |

I think it has something to do with the partially locked layer - how can it be partially locked and not fully locked or fully open? I can see references to lock and unlock but not anything about a partial lock.
How does one open a partially locked layer. |

There are 4 lock settings on the layers palette. Lock transparent pixels, lock image pixels, lock position, and lock all.
Background layers are locked by default. To unlock, convert them to an ordinary layer. (alt+dbl click) |

Good afternoon hawkeye (in Scotland anyway) Sorry for not replying sooner haweye but I have been trying to follow your instructions and I have unlocked the layers.
I just have to work out why when I try to put colour back into the image it is putting a gray colour in not the original colour.
I have checked that I have not toggled from the top select layer to the bottom select layer so it is not that.
I will let you know this evening how I have got on.
Many thanks for your assistance in this issue.
All the best and take care

Is the image RGB color? If not, set in Image-Mode. |
