I was working on a sig, which had a black and white picture and I was gonna colorize it. So I made a new layer and selected a light blue-ish color and i filled the layer with the color. But it came out light gray. So i tried again and it still came up as gray and now every color i pick comes out as different shades of gray, black or white. Does anybody know how to fix this or am I not making any sense? Thanks. :)

Layer >> New Adjustment Layer >> Hue/Saturation

Pick the color that you want the image to be from there. And on the left under the "ok" button, make sure "colorize" is checked.

It sounds like you are just on greyscale mode. Make sure it's on RGB color.

Haha ok. Glad we could help. Photoshop sometimes does that when you open a picture that is black and white.
