Open the image, and try Image -> Mode -> RGB, and see if that resolves your issue. Depending on which version of Photoshop you're using, there are umpteen different ways to render the thing in monochrome in the first place, but that's another story. http://www.longexposure.net suicidepactphoto  Location: Western New York Gender: Male " Did he who made the lamb make thee?

This will turn the photo black and white. Then you make a layer mask and paint over the areas you want to be color with a soft black brush. When you get the look you want merge layers and your done. Or if your trying to do some hand painted thing. Make a new layer for each color, zoom in as much as you can and simply paint. Adjust opacity and blending options to taste.
