You missed the “add a layer mask step” that would leave some newbies confused.

He doesn’t need to write “add a layer mask”, because he’s written “add an adjustment layer”.

In response to mathesonmd’s comment:
Adjustment layers always have a ‘reveal all’ layer mask applied to them when they are created, but I can see where you were coming from.

Yep, as mathesonmd said, it has indeed left some newbies confused. I still don’t understand what you mean by “Go to layer pallete, and click on the color adjustment layer.” =\

The tutorial is fine. This is an incredibly easy effect. All you do is add the saturation adjustment layer, choose -100 for the saturation, and start to draw in black. Where you draw is where the color comes back. Simple.
