This is probably one of the dumbest questions you will hear – But for some reason I can see the colors in the picture and on the color window, but everytime I try to paint something on an image or use a colored font, it is only shades of black and white. How do you set up the color for your photoshop and what do I do to get color to show up in my pictures when using paintbrushes and gradients? Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

check image> mode and make sure it’s not grayscale or bitmap. should be something like rgb 8 bit or cmyk, etc.

Its not just one photo that is black and white, its all of them. I cant seem to use the colors from the paintbrush or the clone stamp to make any colors other than greys whites and blacks.
