Through scanning mode and the ability to recognize, black and white photos become more soulful from old photos. Compared to the old ways, photo scanning has become the pinnacle of great reviews. Scanning images will help keep the sharpness intact compared to the original and shorten the process of taking pictures and focusing on the normal shooting mode.
There will be no photo scanning mode for some other photography and editing applications, but this application has the appearance of this great feature. Unique form, simple to use, smart interface, and many highlights that the application wants to mention to users. The variety of features is a testament to the exciting things that are about to happen in the application. This is a great photography application where users will be satisfied with their own editing and color transformation needs. The original tutorial used to appear on gimpguru.Colorize will be a place to save users’ beautiful moments, restore old photos to become sharp and suitable for today’s times. You probably want to do this before you create the B&W copy.
If you only paint a little at a time it makes it much easier to use GIMP’s excellent undo feature if you accidentally stray outside the boundary.
Switch to a small, feathered brush and very carefully paint the edges. Step 7 ¶Īt the very boundaries of the colored image I typically zoom in to 300% or so. When you get to the edges of the colored part, zoom in to make life easier. Begin painting the interior of the parts you want to be in color. In the toolbox, select the paint tool ( ). We’re going to paint transparency into the layer mask to reveal the color image below.īring up the Brushes dialog ( Dialogs → Brushes) and select a big brush. Make sure that Black is selected as the foreground color in the toolbox. In the Add Mask Options dialog, select White (Full Opacity). In the Layers dialog, right-click on the B&W layer and select “Add Layer Mask”. You can close the B&W image window you just copied from now, if you want. The B&W image should be pasted into that layer, obscuring the color image.Ĭlick the anchor button in the Layers dialog to anchor the pasted image. Then go to the color image window and paste ( Ctrl+V). Go to the B&W image and select all, then copy ( Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C). Make sure the new layer is selected in the layers dialog. Click on the new layer button at the bottom of the dialog. Make sure that the original color image is selected in the Image drop down box. In this example, I tried the channel mixer, but ended up in this case preferring a simple conversion to grayscale ( Image → Mode → Grayscale), then back to RGB. Once you have gotten the B&W version that you like, change it back to RGB mode ( Image → Mode → RGB). Step 1 ¶īy whatever method suits you best, convert the duplicate image to B&W. Here is the original example image, loaded into GIMP. I adapted it for GIMP from a reader comment I saw in a “hand-coloring” tutorial on (great web site by the way, I recommend it). Giving credit where credit is due: I did not come up with this method. Add an opaque layer mask and then selectively paint transparency into the upper mask, exposing the color photograph underneath. The basic technique is to duplicate the color photograph, convert the duplicate to B&W, and paste it as a new layer on top of the color image. This technique is elsewhere referred to sometimes as “hand coloring” :-) With the right subject this can give really striking results, as you can see for yourself.
