[help] Color Stucks @ Ps Cs2

The titel says it all. Whene I choose any color whit vrush/paint bucket tools e.g simpel red it turn into gray and I can't change it. What should I do?

 

Image -> Mode -> RGB color

 

Thank you! It works! And I don't know how it got to the other mod >.>

 

Sometimes people make gradient maps, they would have to make a new layer or select a different layer

 

^ He wasn't speaking about Gradient maps if you were suggesting something related to his problem.

 

I havn't use gradient map. And I havn't change ANTHING at the setting. So I'm guessing this kinda of bug.

 

It's not a bug, it's a key combination or something that you'll press every now and again and set it, that or when you made a new document it was already set to "Grayscale".

Happened to me quite a few times.

 

This problem is so annoying

 

Since were talking about fixing our dumb button presses on photoshop i have cs3 and for some reason out of the blue i cant use the eraser to erase on my gradiant map layers as well as other adjustment layers, i know i used to be able to do it so, any way to change that back?

 

So, could you tell us on what NOT to press to avoid it?

 

You can't erase on adjustment layers, they've never worked like that.

Assuming you've got say a gradient map, on the gradient map layer you click the white box (next to "Layer 1" or w/e) and then you use a black brush as an eraser. White brings it back, black erases, the rubber will do nothing.

 

... so true.

 

You need to brush whit black color ONLY on gradient maps.

 

Yeah thats what I'm doing now using the black brush as an eraser, though i could have sworn i used to be able to erase adjustment layers. Whatever insanity kills =)

 

It's not only on gradient maps, it applies to every adjustment layer. Photofilters etc.
