Photoshop grayscale?!?

if anyone is rlly good in photoshop i hope you can help me with this. i made 2 pics and blended them. but i want to have them in black and white so i went to grayscale because when you lower hue/saturation, the quality isnt as good as when you do grayscale. and then i saved the pic. but now i want to put a texture on it and set it to lighten to get that cool effect. but when i put the texture on it it turns black and white too. how should i do it so that the texture stays in color when i drag it onto the bw pic??? and when i desaturate it its the same like lowering hue/saturation so.. lower quality:( please help!!

Unfortunately I don't believe this can be done as a PSD file. You would have to save it as a JPEG not a PSD, then pull it back into Photoshop on a RGB template - the image itself wont change colour but you can then add whatever texture you want in whatever colour you want. Hope this helps.

Change your image back to RGB mode. Your original image that you turned black and white in greyscale mode will stay black and white, but you can now put color gradients, filters, etc. over that black and white image. Additionally, anything that you drag into the file after it has been brought back to its RGB state will remain in color.

One neat tip, if you're going for cool effects, mess with the layer types. It's the pull down menu on the palette just under the layers tab. You can make it be "color" or "overlay" which from the sound of your project could give you some pretty cool effects.
Never, never apply any modification in original image.

Because you already done that, I think what you can do is change the color mode of your grayscale image through "Image%26gt;Mode%26gt;RGB Color" menu. Next is open your texture image and drag its layer to your grayscale image.

Hope this works.
