[windrider86]

My first attempt at putting color into a balck and white photo. I got all excited and missed a little on the bottom of the bottle. but other than that waddya think?

Not bad. Just as you said...you missed a bit at the bottom of the bottle. The Corona looks a bit green though...

I think the photo would be improved by re-converting the base image to a more contrasty b&w - as is i think it is a bit flat.

Maybe bring the color of hte corona back a bit toward "natural?"

Otherwise - interesting effect.

windrider86,

Here's something to explore in your program: I can use a photo of a real Corona in a separate open window to get a color sample to fill a b/w bottle. If you can find that function in your program, it will raise your reality quotient. Also, the entire bottle would not be colored in that position; the liquid level would leave a small gap at the neck. Keep it fun, you're doing well.

Thanks for the tip. I had thought of finding abottle of Corona to get a color that was closer but as I said I was just to darn excited that I figured this out at all to go looking for one.
Cant wait to try more

Did you take the original photo in color? If so, you can just bring in the color bottle from the original and it would look much more realistic.

I think the B&W neds more contrast and/or the corona color more muted.....
Plus I can't help but stare at the fact that if that is corona it is filled to the brim. Maybe try a little bit of the neck towards the flare empty looking...you know what i mean?
