Colorizing a Photograph
Color Plate 35-1
Colorizing photographs in Photoshop is really interesting because there are so many ways to go about it. Technique 35 shows you several methods for colorizing black and white photos.For this example, I started with a color photograph of flowers (top left), converted it to Grayscale mode, and then reconverted it to RGB mode. Next, I set the tiny Art History Brush source icon in the Layers palette to the history state before the Grayscale conversion. Then, I started experimenting.First, I just used the Art History Brush, set in Normal blending mode, to bring back the color in a few flowers (top right).The next version went back to square one, where I started with the grayscale image. After applying the Hue/Saturation command with the Colorize option selected, the image took on a lovely sepia tone (middle left). Then, I used the Art History Brush, set to Soft Light blending mode, to gently bring back some of the color in the flowers.In my third experiment, I recolored a layer copy of the original grayscale image using the Yellow, pink, green gradient (middle right). Then, I set the copied layer to blend with the original using the Difference blending mode. The result is a startling wheat and brown mix with deep blue flowers.Finally, two other recoloring methods came to mind. I used the Channel Mixer to give the original RGB converted grayscale image an overall blue cast (bottom left). Also, I tried a deep red photo filter to recolor the image (bottom right).
