    And this is my basic layout:

    colorizing-layers.png.e6f88ae153e7fbe113b7ff79cfc6dd7a.png

    The basics are obvious: I put the grayscale image on top and set it to Luminosity. Then I create (below it) separate layers for each object and paint them with flat and rather vibrant colours.

    The main trick is the "gray" layer that should tone down the saturation of dark shades. The solid gray is masked with a negative copy of the original grayscale image. I usually change the mask's levels (alpha) by moving 0 to 50 % too.

    Then I tweak hue and saturation of objects that does not feel quite right yet and add some colour (well, mostly red) touches to faces and hands. Repeat the last step until you are satisfied or you got tired of it. ;)

    It's a good idea to add some light colour reflection on neighbouring objects (the colour of the dress is usually slightly reflected on the neck and chin etc.) but I did not get to it on this picture.

    Here's the full file with layers. Someone could remix it too. :)

    Thanks for that, Gunny, learned something new again!

    With the work arounds in mind I’ve created a set of brushes with repeating patterns that hardly show any deformation*. I was on a roll, so I created 114 in 9 families. I won’t use all, so feel free to use them. They're nice for stamps and borders and such. Enjoy!

    *) When using these brushes on a tightly curving curve or a sharp corner they of course do deform. Experiment with the brush setting for Corners to find the best solution for your project.

    Wow, that's a very impressive and useful collection. Thank you for generously sharing these!
