I've been attempting to colorize b&w photos and I am never satisfied. Whould you mind sharing your technique?
:iconalexisbackintown:
Hi there :-)
I work with Photoshop CS3. I don't really have a technique, though I don't work with layers like most people do. First I change the contrast of the B&W photo to make it look more vivid (because B&W photos aren't lit the same way color photos are), than I simply paint over the photo with a brush, starting with a basic skin tone, than doing the eyes and the lips, than reworking the skin tone with light, contrast and hotness to make it look alive. Than the background. It's really much more of a feeling than a technique. I work more like a painter...
I hope this will be of help to you. I'm afraid I can't share any technical stuff, because I just don't know the words in English :-S
Good luck and please share your colorizations :-)

Hey there :-) Thanks for your comment!
I'm so glad you like my work!
I've got my own little technique for colorizations. It involves a lot of work on light and contrast. It gives a more realistic feel to the picture... Just adding colors wouldn't work since B&W weren't lit the same way color pictures are today.
Thanks again :-)
