the greyscale off? coz I put it on so my images would go grey and I saved it. Now I want to do some things with colour on it but I cant because thats still on. Any ideas?

Open your excisting image
do ctrl + A to select all
then go to edit > copy merged

then hit ctrl + n
and hit ok
paste the image with ctrl+v in your new document

there you will be able to do what you want :) Grayscale is not just a filter, if you have set an image to grayscale you have removed all the colors .. it's not something you can just reset :) it's either use grayscale or use colors.. you CAN use both, but then you'll have to paste the grayscale image into a full color document.

is everything selected then?
are you standing on the proper layer (and not a layer for example that is locked or invisible ?) ?

if it's only one layer then just copy ctrl + c
if it are more layers then copy merged is needed i think ..
if you want to keep your layers for example, then it's going to be a bit harder. The main thing is just that you have to copy your excisting image into a new one that is full color. Your image will still be black&white but then you can add color things on it :)
