Adobe Photoshop Tutorials: Colorize
Colorize is a artistic effect
used by a lot of graphic designers to detail
pictures.
|
|
|
|
 Start
off by opening an image which you want to colorize, it
can be black and white or color, because we're going to
convert it anyway. After its loaded, go to Image>Mode>Grayscale.
If it asks you to flatten the image, select "Don't
Flatten". Then go to Image>Mode>RGB Color.
Again, if it asks you to flatten the image, select "Don't
Flatten."
|
|
|
 Here
comes the hard part, select the part of the picture which
you want to colorize to highlight. Once you've made your
decision, use the "Polygon Selection Lasso"  and
start slowly going around the part of picture you want
to highlight. You can zoom in if it makes it easier to
highlight. Once you've looped around and completed the
selection, it should look something like what he have on
the left.
|
|
|
 Whew,
that was antagonizing; while the image is still selected,
select the color which you want to make the selection.
Since I have a pretty sunflower, I'm going to go with yellow.
Then, make a new layer by going to the layers tab, then
go to Edit>Fill and select Foreground color,
Normal, 100%.
|
|
|
 The
last step to do is to go to the layers tab, and on the
top, you'll see a drop down, the
"Blending Type" which should say "Normal".
Click the drop down and select
"Color". If the color is too bright or just the
wrong shade, play around with the opacity settings, or
try filling with another color. And there you have it,
one really pretty sun flower that sticks out of the rest!
