hey i was once shown a way of colouring in photoshop where you had two layers, the first was the drawing in plain black and white with the white bits transparent,the second was a plain white layer. you put the drawing over the layer and painted on the pure white layer, when i do this it wont work, the paint goes onto the white layer but i cant see it through the uncoloured layer which is meant to be transparent as iv deleated the white bits, any suggestions?
