Keep making fine adjustments using your discretion. Repeat this process for each element/layer (clothes, hair, lips, etc.) Play with hue/saturation as well as various adjustments to achieve the colour and result you feel satisfied with. Start wide with a broad hard brush and as you get closer and into more details, zoom in and reduce gradually the brush size and hardness/opacity. The process is essentially a few steps repeated for each layer or element in the photo (lips, heir, skin, eyes, clothes…)Ĭreate a new layer for example for the lips.Ĭolour over the lips using an approximate colour (can be adjusted later with the Hue/Saturation and Colour Balance adjustments) using a hard brush with opacity at 100%Ĭhange the blend mode of the layer to Multiply and reduce the opacity of the layer to a suitable level (you can still adjust it later)Ĭreate a mask for that layer and use the mask to clean the edges of that colouring. What I hope the video shows is really the need to take your time and go into detail. Laborious but perfectly possible so give it a go! In this tutorial I used my iPad Pro, I just prefer the precision the Apple Pencil affords me but I had previously successfully colourised the 1937 photo below of my grandfather using a mouse on my iMac. I’m self-taught so my way of doing things may not be the same as someone else, it may not be conventional, but that’s the beauty of creativity, we have a goal in sight and find a way to get to it, the exact way doesn’t matter as long as you reach your goal. I must be one of the earlier users as I have been familiar with Photoshop for 25 years (man that makes me feel old). It is not particularly difficult, once you follow my lead it just takes time, care and precision and it makes for the best photography gift as well as a great way to keep yourself busy indoors during Winter, lockdown and the Covid pandemic.Īll you really need is a computer and Adobe Photoshop, I have an Adobe cloud subscription which costs me 10 quid per month and although a little pricey, I make full use of it and it benefits my creativity. In the video tutorial below I show you how to colourise black and white photos using Adobe Photoshop on iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil in a few simple steps. This image from Adobe Stock has a sepia tint which would still work fine.I think I can speak for the majority of us when I say that somewhere… we all have an old black and white family photo we’d like to see in colour. It also doesn’t need to be completely black and white. It doesn’t need to be an old vintage photo, although colorizing old photos is really what the Colorize filter was designed for. You can follow along by opening any black and white image into Photoshop. Let's get started! Step 1: Open a black and white image To use the Colorize filter, you'll need Photoshop 2022 or newer. And if the colors in some areas don’t look right, the Colorize filter lets you select those areas and choose your own colors with a single click! Let’s see how it works. This means it uses machine learning, along with Adobe's artificial intelligence known as Adobe Sensei, to analyze your black and white image and automatically figure out which colors to use. The Colorize filter is one of Photoshop’s Neural Filters. Colorize was first introduced as a beta filter back in Photoshop 2021 but has been upgraded to an official feature in Photoshop 2022. In this tutorial, I show you how easy it is to add color to a black and white photo using the Colorize filter in Photoshop.
