I'll look around though. Thanks, but they didn’t have anything for GIMP. I’ll look around though.

I use GIMP instead of Photoshop. Nice tutorial, but is it the same process with other programs? I use GIMP instead of Photoshop.

North Wed, 28 May 2008 16:39:13 +0000 http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/colorizing-black-and-whites-video/#comment-29777 Good simple tutorial. One item of note, I prefer duplicate the layer and add a B&W Fill/Adjustment Layer instead of just dropping the saturation. That way, you have more control over the background (the b&w parts) by adjusting the sensitivity to certain color ranges, as if you had a colored lens filter. For example, I can use this method to make the green appear darker or lighter behind them as part of the conversion to B&W. It's just generally a better way to convert to B&W. Then, like any other mask, you can use the black brush on the mask itself to let the colored layer shine through. Good simple tutorial.
