How to Colorize Old (Black amp White) Photo ndash Photoshop TutorialBy Manesh K Filed in photoshop

Photo Edit Download wwwmyimageconvertercomBrowse Edit amp Convert Images Across Any Image Format - Get App

Today we are going to do some photo manipulation with Photoshop In the tutorial below we are going to guide you through patching up spots in an old black amp white photo and then colorizing it

First wersquoll run you through on removing white patches from photo and then wersquoll proceed to coloring it The steps are pretty standard Load up your Photoshop and off we goTo follow through the entire tutorial we suggest you download and use the following image

Step 1 Wersquoll start by removing the white patches on the image Choose Clone Stamp Tool and by pressing Alt key pick the plain and appropriate surface near all white patches and apply it on white patch Continue this process until all patches get removedAfter removing all patches your poor image will look clean as shown in image

Step 2Next wersquoll proceed with coloring the image It would be bad idea to colorize the image as a whole wersquoll do them one by one an object at a timeFirst wersquoll select the hat by making the use of Magnetic Lasso Tool ndash like this

Step 3To colorize it we will use the Hue and Saturation (HSL) option There are many ways to colorize an object but HSL is perhaps one of the easiest and most flexible

Proceeding to colorizing the hat add these values to the (HSL) 360 35 ndash 26 appropriately (While using HSL on that window do not forget to turn on Colorize option)

Step 4After applying color the hat may look a little plain Letrsquos add some Noise to it Select Filters -gt Noise -gt Add Noise and give amount ldquo5rdquo to it

Check Monochromatic option to get a smoother noise effect See the next image for its differences

Step 5Next the coat The process is same ndash only different HSL values which are respectively 42 10 ndash 63

To make the overall look of coat more natural instead of using Noise tool we take advantage of Grain Texture option You can find it under Filter -gt Filter Gallery -gt in Texture tab -gt Grain

Select the following options ndash Intensity ldquo10rdquo Contrast ldquo50rdquo and Grain Type ldquoSoftrdquo

14

Step 6Moving forward ndash the shoes To give shoes a shiny effect we are going to use Image menu -gt Adjustments -gt Variations Select ldquoMidtonesrdquo and click Ok Try some combination of CMYK colors until you get a boot of this color

Step 7Next up the door First letrsquos color the door borders Select one side border of door by using Rectangle Marquee Tool Add 15 45 -53 values in HSL tool Then select Filter -gt Filter Gallery -gt in Texture tab -gt select Grain option and keep Intensity ldquo12rdquo Contrast ldquo50rdquo select Grain type ldquoEnlargedrdquo

Follow the same procedure to all the borders of the door

Step 8Next we proceed to coloring rectangles between the doors with the following HSL values55 20 -26 and in Texture Grain keep intensity ldquo12rdquo contrast ldquo50rdquo and Grain type ldquoEnlargedrdquo Step 9Wersquoll wrap up coloring the door by adding colors to the borders HSL values of 25 7 -69 Then under Texture Grain keep Intensity ldquo12rdquo Contrast ldquo50rdquo and letrsquos add extra noise by selecting Grain type ldquoRegularrdquo Step 10After the door we proceed coloring the soil To color the soil select that portion by usingMagic Wand Tool and then keep HSL values 20 24 -56

Step 11Last but not least we will color the wooden background of the image To give it a it a wood look and feel we give it a HSL value of 31 53 -45 and then add Noise ldquo5rdquo by checking theMonochromatic option

After all this procedures finally you will see the output like this

Color CorrectionWe are done coloring the image Now we proceed to the final and most important part ndash color correction Color correction when done right will give the image its correct mood and make it more realistic

To increase the brightness of the image we go to the following option Image menu -gt Adjustments -gt Curves and add ldquo186rdquo for Output and ldquo164rdquo for Input

Letrsquos brighten up the following section of the image (where arrow in pointed to) First we select the portion with Rectangle Marquee tool Then go to Filter -gt Filter Gallery -gt Distort tab and select Diffuse Glow with the following values Graininess ldquo0rdquo Glow Amount ldquo11rdquo Clear Amount ldquo15rdquo And finally proceed to Image menu -gt Adjustments -gt Curves and add ldquo200rdquo for Ouptut and ldquo188rdquo for Input Follow the above process for the remaining parts of image but with different values inDiffuse Glow Graininess ldquo2rdquo Glow Amount ldquo5rdquo Clear Amount ldquo15rdquo Curvesrsquo not required

To darken the shadows of the hat and the coat letrsquos use the Burn Tool and by selectingRange Midtones and decreasing the Exposure value to ldquo20rdquo apply it on shadows part appropriately

Wersquoll use the Dodge Tool to brighten up the coat and hat so it looks as though the lights are coming in from the right side and to give a sense of thickness for the door borders we use the Burn Tool

And herersquos how your final output will look like (or similar) after some color corrections Editorrsquos note This post is written by Manesh K for Hongkiatcom Manesh is an Animator by profession and owner of Howtouse-photoshopcom where he helps people present their creativity digitally with Photoshop tutorials and useful resources

The Sunny f16 Rule for Digital Exposure By Jim Doty Jr

Part of the Digital Photography Exposure For Dummies Cheat SheetThe sunny f16 rule or Basic Daylight Exposure (BDE for short) tells you that the proper exposure in digital photography for a front lit subject is f16 with a shutter speed of 1ISO (thatrsquos 1 over the ISO in use) According to the sunny f16 rule at ISO 100 BDE would be f16 at 1100 second and at ISO 200 BDE would be f16 at 1200 second

When taking photos on a bright sunny day set the ISO of your camera to 100 the aperture to f16 and the shutter to 1100 second Then go out and take pictures of some front lit subjects As long as your subject isnrsquot white or black the exposures should be great No metering necessary

You can use equivalent exposures (different combinations of apertures shutter speeds and ISO settings that provide exactly the same exposure) for the sunny f16 rule The following table shows the equivalent exposures for the sunny f16 rule at ISO 100

WHAT IS ldquoKEYSTONINGrdquo amp ldquoPINCUSIONrdquo Will be covered in my next article

NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY ndash BASIC DEFINITION

There should be no hand of man in a nature photo unless it relates to the subject The only one that was ever accepted was showing an injured bird that had been taken care of and recovered and was being released into the wild

An Idiom For Photographersby Joe Baraban

Before I go any farther let me define the word Idiom An idiom is (1) An expression that cannot be understood from the meanings of its separate words but that has a separate meaning of its own (2) A form of a language that is spoken in a particular area and that uses some of its own words grammar and pronunciations

Here are some common idioms Sunday week for a week from Sunday Give way for retreat and Rock and Roll is a musical idiom The one Ive always thought was especially pertinent to photography and one I mention in my online class with the PPSOP and also in my Stretching Your Frame of Mind workshops I conduct around the planet is Theres more to it than meets the eye

In other words I tell my fellow photographers that theres two ways to look at a subject You can look at it with the left side of your brain the analytical side or the right side of your brain the creative side So many of my students dont look at things as they could be only as they are

Doing that will keep you from taking your photography to what I refer to asup a notch What I mean is that looking with the left side of your brain will only show you what things are Looking at those same things with the right side of your brain can show you what they could be Take the photo above for example

First allow me to digress for a moment I teach photographers how to use the basic elements of Visual Design and composition to create stronger images A complete description can be read by clicking on the link above

Ok so last week I was sitting in my backyard on my deck it was the end of a beautiful day Seventy two degrees and sunny so I had my book in one hand and my Bombay Martini and a bowl of nuts at the ready and close to my other hand I was trying to filter out all the sounds of a house being built next to us and occasionally looking up at what was going on The sun was setting behind the house that was next door and behind me and as the sun was setting the light was slowly disappearing from the bottom up leaving only the top part still in sunlight

If I had been looking at the house with the left side of my brain I would have only heard the incessant hammering and then seen the man working at the top of the house that was causing itthats what was Since Im always looking at things as they could be I saw more than just a house with a man working on the top floor I saw the Texture of the Crape Myrtles branches still bare from the Winter The square and rectangular Shapes and the blue Negative Space that defines and creates the Shapes Im always looking for ways to create Visual Tension and placing the man close to the edge of the frame is one of the ways The way the light is only left at the top of the construction is another and the contrast between his bright saturated red shirt against the soft blue sky and clouds is still another These elements of Visual Design and composition are all pieces that make up the finished puzzleanother idiom meaning the final photograph

Visit my website at wwwjoebarabancom and be sure to watch for upcoming workshops listed at the top of this blog Come shoot with me sometime and Ill show you what could be Dont forget to send me a photo and question to AskJoeBgmailcom - JoeB

Itrsquos All About the LightBy Kathleen Clemons

ldquoMy first thought is always of lightrdquo ~ Galen Rowell

I got my start in photography shooting sunrises from my front lawn back in 2003 Though my subject and location were limited they taught me much about the qualities of light and how quickly they change A gentle hint from Bryan Peterson (I was taking his online Understanding Exposure class) that there were other things to shoot besides sunrises got me off the lawn and where I am today Here are a couple from that first year

As photographers we need to pay close attention to light- we need to study itrsquos direction temperature quality intensity and how it is affecting our subjects After all as photographers we are painting with light

Sometimes when I am out shooting itrsquos the light that actually becomes my subject Great light on a landscape flower building person anything really can take my breath away At those times itrsquos the light that grabs my attention and makes me want to photograph the subject and often itrsquos nothing I had planned as my subject

I shot these two images from my deck last week as the sun was going down really the last bit of light on the bay I literally ran for my camera both times Within minutes the light was gone but I had my shots

19

Here are a few other images where the light is what caught my eye and really became my subject

Pay close attention to light Watch as it changes Study it See how it can sometimes make a subject glow or stand out how it really draws your eye Watch for backlighting see how side lighting can enhance texture how soft lighting can flatter and how light can become your main subject too

Happy ShootingKathleen

Tips to Improve Your Fall Photos Don Smith Photography

Monthly Photo Tip September 2014

This Sunday morning I will be departing for Jackson Hole Wyoming for the start of three consecutive fall workshops The first two will be spent photographing the fabulous fall color of Grand Teton National Park Ill then be off to Moab Utah for my ArchesCanyonlandsMonument Valley Workshop

Simply stated I love this time of year There has already been some snow falling in Wyoming and the leaves have been turning - yes fall is officially here

With that in mind I thought Id share my favorite fall photography tips

The first has to do with light I get asked all the time when is the best time of day to photograph fall color

Well fortunately enough really anytime though Id still say to get out for sunrise and shoot until the sun gets too harsh The same can be said for the other side of the day Fortunately the suns angle has been lowering so we are no longer faced with hard summer light

Under indirect light (dawn dusk and cloudy weather) colors (especially reds and yellows) tend to really pop They are very saturated under this type of light as long as you are using your polarlizer All foliage has a waxy sheen to it and polarizers help reduce that sheen allowing for a more saturated look

When the sun does make an appearance I try to move as much as 90 off-angle and let the light skim That being said my favorite light is backlight Simply place the sun behind the leaves your are photographing and watch the color explode

Another overlooked tip is to look for leaves already on the ground (as I did with these maples above) I try to either juxtapose them with another subject or find some sort of pattern or relationship between the leaves

The color itself is not always predictable as temperature and moisture play a large role in producing fall color As days grow shorter and nights grow longer and cooler biochemical processes in the leaf begin to paint the landscape with Natures autumn palette

Why Is Temperature ImportantA succession of warm sunny days and cool crisp but not freezing nights seems to bring about the most spectacular color displays During these days lots of sugars are produced in the leaf but the cool nights and the gradual closing of veins going into the leaf prevent these sugars from moving out These conditions-lots of sugar and lots of light-spur production of the brilliant anthocyanin pigments which tint reds purples and crimson Because carotenoids are always present in leaves the yellow and gold colors remain fairly constant from year to year

Why Is Moisture ImportantThe amount of moisture in the soil also affects autumn colors Like the weather soil moisture varies greatly from year to year The countless combinations of these two highly variable factors assure that no two autumns can be exactly alike A late spring or a severe summer drought can delay the onset of fall color by a few weeks A warm period during fall will also lower the intensity of autumn colors A warm wet spring favorable summer weather and warm sunny fall days with cool nights should produce the most brilliant autumn colors

Fortunately for us photographers fall offers a palette that is irresistible to our souls So get out this fall with your camera and get some much needed nurturing
