The problem I was running into has been addressed and I am now able to colour my comic pages again ^^ The pages that I had previously uploaded in black and white have now been re-submitted in full colour =) So be sure to check them out if you haven't already! (you only would have noticed the black and white pages if you read ahead on inkblazers or patreon)

For those wondering no, I did not manage to get photoshop, though through the suggestions of several recommendations decided to try colouring in Manga Studio 5 (the program I do all the work for the comic in anyway) and it worked pretty well. Though I don't work as smoothly with it as I do with photoshop I'm sure that I'll get used to it or eventually figure it out.
