RGB photography is not as much a style of photography but a type of setting for editing the colours in an image. You may choose this setting selecting or editing the colours in an image. RGB is an acronym for Red Green Blue which refers to the colours making up an image.
red, green, blue
A gray level image is an image that contains only shades of gray (if it is a RGB image, than all its pixels satisfy R=G=B)
RGB is the color model used to display color on televisions and video monitors. It is a mixture of light, as opposed to a printed image which is a mixture of ink. It is more important to understand how RGB works, and when to use this color model.
Either by using a palette (color map) or by using RGB values.
RGB is usually the best and has the widest variety of colors
First open your photo and then goto the "Image" tab and select "Mode" and click "RGB"
The image space is the 2D plane of the image where pixels are located. It represents the spatial space of the image. In other words, when we talk about the location of each pixel in an image, we are talking about image space. On the other hand, feature space is about the radiometric values assigned to each pixel. In case of a grey-scale imagery, only one radiometric value is assigned to each pixel. When we say an image is RGB or multispectral, then each pixel has several radiometric values that are stored in different channels (for instance there are 3 channels of Red, Green and Blue in an RGB image, so for a pixel we have 3 radiometric values). Feature Space is the space of these radiometric values; the radiometric values of each pixel can be plotted in that space and you can create a feature space image. Last example, an RGB image has a 3 dimensional feature space while it still has a 2D image space.
Pantone colours are industry standard inks for printing that guarantee color uniformity. An RGB image can not actually be printed until it is converted to CMYK. There is access to Pantone color libraries from within most image editing software, from the library you can choose the specific colour you are looking for.
It's likely one of 3 issues: 1. Your Image Mode is set to Grayscale rather than RGB or CMYK. 2. The Layer Channel is set to Green or Blue and not RGB, which can make it seem like it's BW (for Image Mode set to RGB). If it's set to Multichannel, you can get the same problem if only the Alpha 1 channel is set. 3. If the image is a result of a scan, the scanner's setting is likely set to Grayscale and not Color. First check the image mode - click on Image, Mode, then view the setting. Change it to RGB or CMYK depending on the project you're working on. Next, check the Channel Palette (Window, Channels) and check that all channels are selected. If it's not those, then check your scanner and make sure it's set for color output.
RGB is color mode suitable for on screen viewing, rgb layer means that layer is in rgb color space. IN Photoshop you can see (or change) in which color mode you are working from Image > Mode
