Colors in my PS file turned gray when I accidentally hit bad quick keys (control-a-4)... How to get back the colors?

I did it accidentally several times.  For the screenshots, I use the command-shift-4 (on a Mac).  Sometimes I hit accidentally order-a-4 and it turns out all the colors gray.  And it's not reverse out when I repeat the operation.  Even though it looks in grayscale, it isn't in grayscale, when I check the mode.   Arrrggghh.  The only way I've seen before is just to quit smoking and I hope I did the last record, still has the colors in.  Unfortunately, I don't want to lose all changes now.

Help!

Sounds like your pressing the shortcut for selection of a channel.

Based on the mode of color, but in color RGB, command-4 mode would be the Green layer.

It should say green on the title bar of window or tab.

Next time that happens, you can watch the Panel layers (window > channels), then click on RGB to show RGB or composite of some color mode your in.

Keyboard short is listed to the right of the thumbnails in the Panel layers.

Or you can use the shortcut command-2 to return to the composite RGB.
