Ok, this is what I've been doing to get the problem...it did not involve me changing any options deep with in PS.

From a scanned picture, I C+P'd the desired bit onto a new canvas, and then I needed to colour it in quickly. My plan was to set rough outlines using the line tool then flood fill it, and round it off with the paint brush.

For some reason, when I used the line tool, it wouldn't let me use flood fill or paint brush, so what should have been a 30 minute job has taken more than an hour.

Should I just colour the original picture then C+P to a new canvas after? Or is there some option that's in a stupid place that needs changing?

Using RGB colour btw.

Could be something else but it sounds like you have the shape paths selected. You just need to select shape layer or fill shape. (or you could select your path and fill/stroke that)
