[Quote:] When I go to pick my colour, it will only be Black-white (including grays) How can I fix this? My only colours are grays, blacks, and whites, even when I select any other colour, red, blue, etc.

It sounds like Photoshop is in grayscale mode.
Check your Colour preferences (Edit > Color Settings) and make sure all the Color Management Policies are "off". Open a new file (File > New), and set the mode to RGB or CMYK Color.
Click on OK. You can either use this file or close the window if you want - it doesn't matter.
The next time you create a file in Photoshop it should default to the last setting used.

Hi:
I'm working on a black & white photo in PS7 and I'm trying to make the Roses in her hand in color while the rest of the picture is still b/w. Can anyone walk me through this.....PLEASE.

You must be working with the color setting turned to grayscale
change to any other and it should work
