I've scanned 2 pictures, and now I'm trying to put both images in the same picture, but as I copy and paste it, it turns black and white. What's wrong ???
Thanks!
 
You may have to change the mode of the images you are working on. Make sure when you open the images you change them to RGB (image > mode > RGB) - this allows you to use all the photoshop features. Also, the easiest way of copying one image into another is to have both images open and visible (window > tile) and use the move tool to drag one image onto the other- this will create a new layer for your new image. Hope this helps. If it doesn't, let us know.

 
Sounds to me like the image you are copying to is in a greyscale format. If you copy a color picture to a greyscale format then it will also become that format...make sure both image are in RGB - for web, or CYMK-for print. Then when you copy your image shouldn't turn black and white.
