I found it very easy. Convert to color using the gradient map – use the third one in the pop up box – then I did use a BASIC brush to bring out the color where I wanted it. It was truly easier than I expected.

It is the Pencil tool (B) which needs to be used and not the Brush tool (Y). It would work fine then

I tried to use the brush as well and I did not get any results. The Conversion to Black and White Tutorial was simple and easy and I ended up using the eraser tool on the channel mixer layer and that worked great.

I really like your articles! I was able to convert the photo to black and white but when I use the brush to bring the colors back to different areas it makes them all a transparent pink color instead of the original colors. Is there something I have set wrong? I tried it numerous times.

Thank you this was truly helpful and something I had previously thought way beyond the scope of my abilities.

Great resource.
