January 20, 2011 - Colorize with Photoshop

So recently I discovered a very simple way to take an old black and whilte photo and add some color to it.


I found this image on reddit. It is an old hardware store and the photo is from 1936 (if the calander is true). Basically you make a new duplicate layer of the image and then use the paint brush tool. Blend mode must be set to color and depending how realistic you want the colors to look opasitiy should be adjusted to give the saturation (i found 100% looks very technicolor like). Then you just paint over the ares you want with the colors you want. Here is my first attempt.
