Pro Colourizing

1. open up the pic you want to colourize
2. desaturate it.
3. take your polygonnal lasso tool(make sure the feather is 30), and click around the area you want to colour a certain colour.
4. later>new adjustment layer>colour balance
5. colour it whatever you like.
6. repeat steps 3 through 5 in different areas.
7. done.

i'm sorry there arent any pictures. i'm on a different computer, and yeah.

an example of this method is my 44. caliber love letter signatrure.

i used about 8 - 10 different colour balance layers to colourize it.

sorry again for lack of pictures.

 

colors dont really flow well on that one
lol nt

 

you're right. some places, i could have taken more time doing...
should have moved the upper right yellow down a bit, in order to make it blend more.

thanks,

 

Actually, I think that gives a really nice effect... nice job.

 

it's basically very technical colouring.
select areas and such.
no random colours pop in. just what you want.

 

Thanks I always wanted to do that. N/J.

 

hmm easy and good effect

nice job man ;]

 

it is very nice the coloring gives a nice effect

 

I prefer to do a colour balance layer then apply the colour with a brush.

 

I work better with pics, but good tut anyway. Made it alot easier than what I was trying to do.

 

dethhydra...
so you make a new adjustment blah blah blah, and then you fill it black, and then brush around with some sort of grungy brush?
sounds good. i'll give it a try.

 

nice thnx alot
i needed this
lo
i cant color for my life

yea i think sticking with orginal color is the best way
