In my post, I should have included AP.

I’ve succeeded in setting up a gradient. I used the Fill Tool on the left.  Since this is a sunset, I need to add colour.  i am trying the Colour Studio, but all I get is shades of grey.  Any suggestions please?

Go to the Document ooze menu, choose ‘Convert document’ and check the Context toolbar to make sure that the colour space isn’t set to ‘Grey/8’ or ‘Grey/16’.

Good to know, but what was the problem?

I had an adjustment layer that affected the whole document.  I moved it to its proper level.

Gradient maps from adjustment studio are useful too. You can select colour ranges for shadow, mid tones and highlights and add additional points. In the channel studio. You can then invert the adjustment layer and use its built in mask and a black paint brush to brush in the effect to the areas you want. I find them useful when colourising b/w photos.

Thanks. I need to learn more about Gradient Maps.
