Title: Photo Coloring
Post by: LGM on Wed 02/07/2003 04:40:12
I've recently been taught how to color in Grey-scale photo's in Photoshop.. It's quite effective and I'd like to share it with you:

Wow, that looks great.  I've done some stuff like that in the past, although I've never tried doing a whole photograph before, usually just small parts and highlights (i.e. the "artistic" stuff my photo teacher loves).  Only thing that looks a bit odd is her lips.  Not sure why, but there's something wrong about them.  I think it's that odd bit of dark dark shading in the lower right and the little bit on the far left.

Great work!

Hey, thanks man.  I've fixed up the lips... Most of that was the result of coloring in the skin and the brush being to big..

Anyways, here's the updated version:

Lips are still kinda awkward.

(http://www.fbc-bettendorf.com/lgm/pics/milla_final3.jpg)

Evened out the makeup a bit and changed the lip color to make it more realistic..
IMO looks alot better :)

What do you think?

Another Edit>>

Made the lips brighter, touched up some greyish areas.. Also have a full greyscale for comparison.

He didn't use photoshop, but rather L'Oreal Recital.... because he's worth it!


(Recital is the hair colourant that Milla Jovivivivivich advertises, I think)

fiddled with hey eyes and lips

the lips are still weird but i think that comes from the fact that the bw copy was a little washed out, i think that's the majority of my problems with it. everything is washed out

try scanning your own photo or something and colouring that, the quality and detail would sky rocket i believe

[and you probably didn't scan it but get it off the internet]

Hey! Thanks!

I wanted to do something like that with the lips, but I'm not skilled enough in PS yet..

Think you could tell me how you did it.. And some tips on how to clean up a photo.. Thanks!

That one looks really good.  But you should make the nail color match the lips better.

Woah, I just sounded so gay.

I am going to abstain from making a L'oreal joke. Honest.

.....

It requires a lot of willpower, I can tell you that. Anyhoo, nice stuff, what would be interesting is if you took something that was meant to be black and white (say, an Escher sketch), and made it colour.

That would prove you were worth it!


....Damn.

Well well.. Seems like Neole is the only one that seems to still care about these damned pics.. hehe..

Anyways, here's something a little different.

This is a pic of my somewhat girlfriend.. if you would like to know what that means, IM me and I'll let you in on it... But I'm not gonna explain it here..

Anyways, she sent me a pic she took on her webcam.. Well, more than a picture her webcam took of her.. See, it randomly takes pictures when it's turned on.. So this picture was unexpected... But I liked it a lot, and decided to play around with it in Photoshop.

Here's what I came up with.. I was shooting for a cinematic, studio shot kinda feel.. Tell me what you think.
