This is driving me demented.
Adding colour to a b/w photo. I've done hundreds of these in the past, so the method is pretty much second nature, however............
1) Open b/w image
2) Select a colour I want to use
3) Add a new layer of this colour and add to that a black transparent layer mask (set to overlay)
4) Erase over the mask where I want the colour
Nothing is happening. Eraser brush opacity is at 100% (any brush, makes no difference). The eraser procedure shows in the history but nothing has happened.
Strangely, if I select black as the colour, there is a low opacity effect even though settings are at 100, but with any other colour.....nothing.
I've tried different images, even ones that I have done successfully previously....nothing.
What am I missing please?
