i think its colorizing.. anyway, an image like so...
 how do you get the green and blue colors into the image without losing other colors, such as their skin and the yellow? i tried just putting a gradient over it, but it loses all the colors and it doesnt look as good. anyone know? |

create a new layer and put the gardient in that layer
then just edit the layer mode. i'd recommend soft light so it doesnt kill the colour as much but it really depends on the image you put it on. |

^ Do that, but also try to the layer modes "Lighten" and "Screen". Those'll do the trick.

Yeah, try all different layer options to achieve a desired effect...there's really no "formula" for creating something that looks good. Generally, though, if you set the layer to "Colour", you'll lose all other original colours. Of course you can always mess around with the opacity as well.
