Going from grayscale to color?

1- First i duplicate the grayscale painting layer and add a gradient map (image>adjustments>gradient map) ![gradient map added .JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPCczm2TbRtpfgp6huHLjmtiLxwXQes4MR6HeC1uMsMAZ/gradient%20map%20added%20.JPG) 2- Double clic on the duplicated layer and use uderlying layer to create a smooth transition between the gradient map and the grayscale layer ![underlying layer added.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXwUQr2eAjE9Ctkiqpn4AvVxa13eUougtdEtGcRztRUaF/underlying%20layer%20added.jpg) 3- Create new layer and clip it to the gradient map layer and set it to color mode ![color added.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXtRm1v6WsoDEu3NgnQynZFXRsxk75eDpXMFVunvwhk81/color%20added.JPG) Hope this was helpful 😊
