Colorizations

[Alias_Day]

I like the first one best too, it's so..alive.

Thanks! I think the second one is up in the little Entries section. Clearly, I'm still new to this challenge business...

Oh, and that brush is from the-butterfly.de, set 43. Lots of good stuff on that site.

im gonna ask something that might be really obvious by how do you greyscale pictures?

 

[SkyGirl5]

depends on what program you're using
in photoshop its a setting
image>>i think its mode or setting im not sure but theres a whole list including RGB color (which is typical color form) and grayscale is under there too

 

[Scarlet Crystal]

Janet, the eyes are perfect! I'm really bad at that aspect of colorizing.

 

[SkyGirl5]

ooo those are easy
just put a little color on and gaussian blur (cant spell that) it until its smoothed out

 

[Scarlet Crystal]

When you put the color on, it's in its own layer, right? And do you have it on Color or Color Burn or something?

 

[SkyGirl5]

own layer = yes
overlay is the setting

 

[Scarlet Crystal]

Aha! Thanks.

I haven't posted here in forever...

I wanted to make a Paul Walker WP from some pics of him from a Men's Health Photoshoot, but they were black and white, so I tried to colorize one of the pics. I think I did a good job except for the eyes and the hair.

Yeah, I think you did the skin excellently. The eyes are scaring me a little. :lol:

Aw yay. I them, Janet! I miss colorizations - glad you revived the thread, as it were. ^_^

Oh, and care to share your new method?

 

[SkyGirl5]

well it might not be so new, but its new to me :lol:
i have a brush set labled lizzy_erasers (where i got it i truely dont know anymore), but anyway its just a little cloud-like shape of color that has blended out edges...
so, instead of filling in the whole layer with the color i'm going to use for the skin tone, i jsut sort of paint the face area and then erase the edges not on the face... and i also dont use just one solid color... i use diff darker/lighter tones on it which makes it a little more "realistic-ish' shall we say since the brushes are set on 70% opacity...

i hope that made sense :lol: but i found it easier to do certain aspects of the colorization that way - particularly the pink sunglasses
