[darloray]

hi, never done this before but im wanting to learn and im a quick learner. an old guy that works with us has a photo from 1958 that was cut out of the local paper. were contacting them to try and get the original. ive had a quick look around but has anyone got any tutorials on how to change it to colour.

Use this phrase in google you'll find many "change to color from black and white using photoshop"

Here are some guides on the forum.

For this tutorial, I don't personally like the skin tone achieved. Tom Mann addresses that in a post in the thread.

Here is another discussion. May not be enough steps to follow for what you want though.

I would try iDad's suggestion of googling. We have lots of posted threads of restoring and colorizing, etc., but not a bunch of tutorials to guide you.

I think it's time to make one...

I see loads of these topics asking how to colourize. Give me a day or two and I will knock up a tutorial for this.

May not be a vid tutorial, may write one up.

What a great idea. What a guy!
