Hi,
just a quick question. i have a black and white photo i am trying to colorize on Photoshope CS. i want the darks to be Red Violet (which i did using Hue/Saturation) and then i would like to make the highlights yellow green. This part i am at a loss on. If anyone wouldn't mind explaining it to me it would be much appriciated.
Thanks!

I'm not sure if this will work but try adding a Gradient map.
Image > Adjustment > gradient map.
It does some very nice things to BW.
Just an idea.

Thats is just what i need, but how do i make the gradient colors red violet and yellow green. if i click to make a custom one and type the color names in photoshop doesnt reconize them.
Sorry if it sounds helpless. i really dont know my way out of the paper bag called photoshop.

To enter the colors..
a) click the the actual gradient strip
b)double click the little square stops at the ends
c) enter your color number
