Skin tones frequently have reflections of teal or purple, and shadow areas of clothes often have subtle back reflections of blue or teal.<br /><br />Also, every time I try to color, even if RGB is checked, all I get is grey. Other programs I have had simply layer color over color over color to get the proper tones.

I have an old B&W military photo of myself from one of those photo booths in the late 70's, I tried to work with GiMP to colorize it, but my poor Dell laptop can't handle the processing and shuts the program down whenever I add too many tasks. Someday I'll have a better computer to work on it.

Obviously you will want to use the eyedrop tool on the image you are trying to mimic). After you have your color, double click on the "Foreground and background colors" under the tools so the box "Change Foreground color" comes up. Once that is up, look at the value of "H" (hue). Whatever that number is, you can input for "Hue" in the colorize settings.<br /><br />Please let me know if that is what you are looking for or if you don't understand what I just wrote.McKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03548464291092295076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720051712770628368.post-78287960202650505132014-03-12T17:56:22.502-06:002014-03-12T17:56:22.502-06:00Is it possible to instead of manually picking a co...Is it possible to instead of manually picking a color, select a portion of a colored image to use as reference color?Tin Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06978349446803504278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720051712770628368.post-58561260409364207562013-12-31T11:31:04.207-07:002013-12-31T11:31:04.207-07:00This must be a good tutorial but I have been tryin...This must be a good tutorial but I have been trying to colour a B&W photo for 2 months without success.<br />I must confess that I am relatively a novice in this field.<br />Firstly, with colourise or colour balance, I am not able to get the desired colour at all. <br />Secondly, the default mode of layer mask is 'normal'. I feel it may have to be some other mode for the colouring to be done.<br />Thirdly, your explanation:<br />'Next I used the selection tool to select the collar (I don't suggest doing this... it is much easier to just use the paintbrush and select the white color and paint).<br />Once I selected the collar, I used the paint bucket tool to fill it as white. Again... painting is easier.'<br />just could not be understood; the collar is a chequered pattern of red and white. So the red will be painted over.<br />It may be a good one for experienced users as I feel that some intermediate steps in the process, which you have taken for granted, are omitted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720051712770628368.post-70380536078758602762013-04-03T22:56:54.290-06:002013-04-03T22:56:54.290-06:00What an exemplary tutorial for coloring photograph...What an exemplary tutorial for <a href="http://alstudioonline.com/" rel="nofollow">coloring photographs</a>.
