Are you sure you are on the correct layer?

Also, you can go to layer -> new adjustment layer -> color balance

ya... its nothin to do with the software... its jus some silly mistake ur makin... check whick layer ur on... and if its not a vector layer..

Whats to balance, you have no colour in your image, and its in grayscale mode.

That sorts it.

image > mode > rgb color

Talk to Adam, he's the man. Modest too.

Document color pallet is responsible for so many problems. Whenever colors aren't working like they're supposed to, that's the first thing to check. It's usually the cause.
