After I convert in image to the grayscale mode, I lose the ability to change text color over the top of the image. Somehow the text color ends up in grayscale mode also.

Pls help?

    If the image is grayscale, you can't add color. If you want colored text, either change the file back to rgb, or use a b&w adjustment layer to turn some of your layers to graysacale.

      Technically one could add a Spot Channel to a Grayscale Image, but that would be useful only in few cases.
