alecspra Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hi, I am curious as to which tool do you find most useful for colorizing an original black and white picture. I have used the paint brush (in colour mode) as well as the color replacement brush. By the way, is there any benefit of using one versus the other? And I have also tried using the Recolor adjustment layer then inverting the layer and painting back in the areas I want to colorize. That is my favorite method so far. Do you know of other effective ways of doing the same thing? Any recommendations or suggestions? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sDuccio Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Hi @alecspra I've just found out this tutorial with the frequency separation and the paint mixer brush tool Quote OS: windows 10 home 64 bits Lenovo core I7 6700HQ 8Gb Ram Nvidia GTX 950 4 gb Memory SSD 256Gb HD 1TB 5400 rpm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The voice in the narration is obviously computer generated, which makes it a bit creepy, as if the instructor (for want of a better term) is a machine, possibly a heavy-handed robot, judging by how hard it sounds like the keyboard is being stuck.

markw Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Hello all, Ok so this isn’t a link to another “How To…” tutorial about colourising old photos but I did find this short video very interesting on the subject as a whole: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vubuBrcAwtY Alfred and anon1 2 Quote macOS 12.7.6 | 15" Macbook Pro, 2017 | 4 Core i7 3.1GHz CPU | Radeon Pro 555 2GB GPU + Integrated Intel HD Graphics 630 1.536GB | 16GB RAM | Wacom Intuos4 M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sDuccio Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 well I found it interesting because it is an alternative to a layered work. He works on a low frequency layer and it seems to be more realistic compared to a traditional method, fairly time saving. Picking up the colors from a color photo is a good suggestion, I tried myself with a picture of Theodore Roosevelt, picking up colors from Robin Williams in "Night at the museum". The result satisfied me and did it in a short time.

sDuccio Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 @MBd after all alecspra asked for an other method for doing the work an he was satisfied as far as I can see he suggests to use the frequency separation to preserve the details and the traits of the face Quote OS: windows 10 home 64 bits Lenovo core I7 6700HQ 8Gb Ram Nvidia GTX 950 4 gb Memory SSD 256Gb HD 1TB 5400 rpm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
