- socoolami, on 10/12/2007, -1/+30Am I the only one that thinks the end result looks nothing like the advertised end result?
- earthtoandy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14that looked terrible.
- awhiteflame, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12I liked this comment: "I recognize that guy. Wait a minute, umm, he’s, umm, Agent Orange from Planet Citrus."
- spudnic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11The video is 3 minutes odd long...
And you'd be better off taking photos in colour, it's easier to take it out than put it back in - SeriouslyButNo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12There's a pause button you know..
- leoedin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9so is recolored if you know where to look - whats your point?
- DrumaTix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8The advertised result is obviously the original before being converted to b/w.
The end result is nowhere near what what to be expected. This video was a total waste of time. - jimmiss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7There is an app called ReColored:

It works very very well. - digitalunltd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Well the advertised after image looks way better than the image he makes! Is the advertised image just the original image before he did turned it black and white?

A poorly worked /. one liner doesn't get much love on digg.
Sorry - gharding, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The eyes are the worst. It's just like a blue tint over the entire thing.
- grimman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Reading? It's a video.
- mauriz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6The result is awful. This tutorial is pointless.
- igotdugout, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Better if you stopped reading. This is no way to colorize a picture. To do professional coloring you gotta seperate different sections of the pictures according( like skin, eyes, clothes etc), and then go to "Color Balance" under one of the tabs and play with those till you get the right colors.
- zlyoga, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5looks like he bought some of that orange-y fake tan stuff
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4i dont know how this made it to the homepage.
i guess it's all those "digg now, read later" people. - webwiz1986, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Just use the same technique with the GIMP.
- Joe091, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3That's exactly what I cam here to say. The advertised end result looked pretty realistic, but the one from the video looks like a child did it. I'm assuming that for the final end result they added some different colors for highlights and shadows and whatnot.
- jmontes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Coloriage is designed to colorize photos within Photoshop. Gives impressive results as well:

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Wow, I'm going to bookmark this so when I want to make a B&W photo look like ***** I can use this tutorial!
/sarcasm. - Tagaiz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The colored picture at the beginning was different than what he showed how to do.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2BTW that probably isnt his/her grandpa
- outhouseinput, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Stupid tutorials from stupid blogs suck.
Go home. - zcreem, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2colorize WTF color is a verb as well as a noun.
- 81v3d07g0d, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Not only that but the most effective way to do this is with the hue/saturations sliders, and unless A am totally off alpha channels would speed this up even more and make it more accurate.
- compacho, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Oh man was that pretty bad.
There are so color variations that make up one's skin color. Simply using a "tan" color will not work. - bulbboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't think any amount of playing about with sliders will get to the advertised end result.
Picard does sometimes have that permatan look, but this takes the cake!
Remember: even the whites of the eyes have colour in them. - EternalDarkWing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1How about extracting hidden color data using Photoshop? Where's my tutorial for that? My friend sent me a black and white picture from their vacation and when I went to view it using my networked Xbox 360 on my TV, the thumbnail showed part of the image that was cropped off and the whole picture was in color. When I opened the photo, it was still in black and white. Anyone?
- porplem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah. http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/1589/5644mg6.jpg

You can get the latest version of flash, you just have to add the right repository or you can find som .tgz's online - painting, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2you have got to be kidding me....
- CloudWilliam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If you don't have the latest flash player (e.g., you use Linux), forget about this site -- there's nothing but a video that you won't be able to watch.
- dbr_onix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Bah, it's far harder to colourize a "proper" black and white image, since there's no gradation. A colour image, converted to greyscale is far easier to recolour, although it's totally pointless recolouring it, when you could just selectively desaturate it..
Also, older cameras that were black-and-white are generally lower quality than the "modern" colour ones, which again makes it harder, and makes this method of shoving colour on a layer then changing the blending mode not work
[Disclaimer : Comment made at 2AM, I know what I want to say but the keyboard refuses to type it correctly..]
- Ben - inim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1this might actually have been one of the worst Photoshop Tutorials, not the video editing. but the tutorial itself is crap ...
- artman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Patrick Stuart with Botox. Brilliant.
- sandersons, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's a great tutorial for those who uses PS. And it's amazing to see that long task covered in very short time. I Liked It. Thanks.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1seriously. did the final look like the "after" picture? it looked like the B/W was made from the color "after" picture and then he did his work. the flesh tones were more varied in the "after" picture than in his final shot.
- bradkovach, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The eyes are hideous. Then again, so is the video.
- wedges, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2wow.... that was a ***** tutorial. not good.
- Yout, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Color mode oversaturates in areas of darker intensity and doesn't show up at all in areas of higher intensity. Also, solid masking areas you intend to color is going to lead to mixed hues and missed spots of black and white.
You can't get a good product by simply using numerous layers set to "color" mode. A real photo coloration project involves selection feathering plus alpha channel level adjustments to precisely select areas to color. It also involves careful saturation and color-channel intensity adjustments if you want to avoid the clown makeup visual effect. - wizgha, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"Proffesional look" (2:58) FTW!
- zcreem, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1So what does this mean
How to color Black And White Images in Photoshop
ize-ing nouns doesn't make them proper. - traviswood, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1That was a brutal tutorial... Don't waste your time with this. No Diggage
- cubeeggs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"Colorize" is the proper word for adding color to a black-and-white image.
- ELMword, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wasn't this on the podcast before?
- tpgraphics, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I do believe just doing a psuedo-hand tint would come out looking better than that...
First, start out with the black and white picture as the first layer, If you need to do level adjustments, do it now. first. (use an adjustment layer so you can adjust it later :] )
Now pick out a few colors for the skin tones/eyes/hair/clothes ect... and save them on the swatches palette first.
Then make a new layer with it's mode set to Color with an opacity of 50% for each color you plan to use. i.e. a layer for skin, a layer for the eyes or whatever.
Then just pick a nice soft brush and paint the colors onto the layer. You can then adjust the layer's opacity if you need a more profound color effect.
Really, I like coloring this way better. I've always been pleased with my results.
And I do want to credit this tutorial to November's issue of Photoshop User, I just paraphrased it.
-tyler - krark, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Pretty simplistic, but still worth reading for a beginner.
- Llanowar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Really good huh?
- wert0r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ok, that did look cool at first, in low resolution. The real thing was just lame though.
