Go to Image>Mode. Are you working in Grayscale? Change to RGB or CMYK.

Thanks a lot. I just noticed that the program started up in colour -
that is the foreground and background were some horrible colours,
right until I selected a new file - it then went into mono mode. Then
I spotted the MODE just after the size - it was in greyscale. There is
no idiots like an old idiot.
Mainly I have managed to sort out photos and when you load one of
those, you are automatically in Colour.

But thanks again

Borge

Just to be clear, when you open existing files, they will be in whatever
color mode they were saved in.
