# Add color to a grayscale image

You can colorize an entire grayscale image, or select areas to colorize with different colors. For example, you can select a person’s hair and color it brown, and then add pink to the person’s cheeks after making another selection.

Note: If the image you are coloring is in grayscale mode, convert it into RGB by choosing Image > Mode > RGB.

1. Choose Enhance > Adjust Color > Adjust Hue/Saturation, or Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation to work on an adjustment layer.
2. Select Colorize. If the foreground color isn’t black or white, Photoshop Elements converts the image into the hue of the current foreground color. The lightness value of each pixel does not change.
3. Use the Hue slider to select a new color if desired. Use the Saturation slider to adjust the saturation. Then click OK.
