How do you add a layer with colour on it? I seem to be stuck in the greys. I can add a new layer with colour in it, if I first let PhotoShop do something... can't remember what happened, but the result was I suddenly had just a background and the new layer - with colour enabled. Is there a way to preserve the full amount of layers and yet still have a new colour layer on top of all my previous grey layers?

If you did an Image > Mode > Grayscale or opened a new document in Grayscale then you can't add a colored layer on top. You can use RGB Mode and lower the saturation on the bottom layers and have colored layered layers on top.

So can I change the current layers to RGB mode WITHOUT the program crunching all the layers down to one layer? Ah... yes you can. You just need to make sure you click "don't flatten" on the dialog box that pops up when you try to change the mode... I must have just clicked "OK" cos the default is "flatten". Good, now I can get on...
