I did this tutorial in Photoshop CS3 Extended which is why some of you may have problems. However, that doesn't mean this tutorial won't work in other versions of Photoshop. Just try it out.
Are you a noob & want to learn one of the easiest things to do in ps? Don't worry, I will teach you. You will learn how to add a splash of color to your black & white photos. A lot of people have been asking me how to do this lately so I might as well turn this into a tutorial. I will use a picture of colorful balloons I found online.
Here's the before:
Here's the after:
To coloring!
001.First off, open up that colorful picture.
002.Do a ctrl+j.
003.Now go Image>Adjustments>Desaturate.
004.Select your Eraser Tool (E).
005.Begin erasing the parts of the picture you'd like to keep in color.
006.After you're done erasing, you should have something like this! I hope you learned something, you noob! "D
*Here's another example of "selective coloring"
If you got lost or have any questions, comment the tutotial & I'll get back to you as soon as I can. :D
