Heaps of people have been asking for one, so here it is. I'm not going to do it very detailed, but if you're stuck, just say.

(the images were a bit rushed)

Original:

After I colored it:

You can still do the same with a colored picture (as the original).

Ok, get a circle brush, make a new layer, and pick what part you're wanting to color at the moment. Say you're wanting to color the dress, so I pick a purpley color, and on the new layer went over the dress. Set the layer to "Color". Make another new layer, and I picked a peachy color for her skin, so I went over her skin with the brush, and set it to "color". Just keep doing this until you're done.

I know this tut is old...but i'm really confused.

I tryed but stuffed it..

Could you possible explain it abit more..

Sorry but i'm really slow

Ok!

Select your brush tool (make sure a soft circle brush is selected). The size of it doesn't matter- you'll want to use a big one for big spaces (e.g. the blanket in the above picture) e.t.c. Decide which part you are coloring first. I decided to do the blanket, so I created a new layer, picked the colour I want to go over it in (which was green), and start going over it (it's very important you do this on a new layer).

Set this layer to 'color'. The parts that you coloured should now be green. Keep doing this until you've coloured the whole image, but create a new layer each time you colour something else (e.g. the dress, or the skin).

Hope that explains it a bit better.

My first tutorial

Step 1. First sharpen your base: Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen

Step 3. Layer > duplicate layer > set to screen 88%

Now your picture should look like this:

Step 3. Layer > New adjustment layer > Hue/Sat

Master: 0, 13, 0

Reds: 0, 17, 0

Step 4. Layer > New adjustment layer > Color balance

Step 5 (optional step)

Image > duplicate and drag on top.

And you're done

Did this make any sense?

I came up with What did I do wrong....

Liz has asked me to write up a tutorial of mine so here it is.

We will be going from this to this

1. Crop and resize the image to what you desire and merge.

2. Duplicate your base and set to screen ( you may nedd to do it a few times if you image is dark). I have done it once.

3. now get a new layer and fill it with #91caff and set to colour burn

4. Make another new layer and fill it with #e0cfb1 and set to muliply

5. Make yet another new layer and fill it with #fcd1f4 and set to softlight but change the opacity to 80%

6. Now make a new layer again and fill it with #090729 and set to screen.

7. Now duplicate your base and and set to softlight and drag to teh very top.

8. Now you can add text or brushes, all I have done is got the rectange tool and put it on an angle then I wrote text over it and add a border and I'm done.

Thanks...I think

I havnt tryed it yet.

But does thos work on any version of photoshop? I have an old one that I found on a cd (5.5)

So yeah...

I would imagine so. As long as you've got the brush tool, and are able to set the blending mode to 'color', it should work.

[~Rosey~]

Yeah, I can do both those.

Thanks!
